- SwimRunners are likeable all-round athletes who practise the sport of SwimRun. The first official SwimRun event took place in Sweden in 2006 - also known as Ö till Ö (island to island). Since 2016, there has been a top-class SwimRun event near Berlin: the SwimRun Rheinsberg.
- "Fish swim, birds fly, man runs!" That's how Emil Zatopek saw it. But swimming and flying are not exclusive to animals. The combination of running and “flying” (i.e., gliding), through cool water gives endurance athletes that special kick.
