Molveno in January 2025 will host the sixth edition of the Swimming World Championships in frozen water, supported by IISA, the World Federation of the discipline with collaborators in no less than 73 nations.
The icy water swimming competitions must take place in waters with a temperature below 5° and the athletes only wear a swimming costume (not a wetsuit, therefore), swimming cap and goggles.
More than 500 athletes from all over the world compete in the Molveno swimming pool in races of different lengths (from 50 metres to 1000 metres) and different styles (free, backstroke, breaststroke, relay).
