The Danish Swimming Federation was founded in 1907. To begin with the organization consisted of only three clubs within the Copenhagen area and had around 300 members.

Today, just 100 years later the number of members totals more than 126,000 and consists of 204 clubs from all over Denmark.

The Danish Swimming Federation’s purpose is, among other things, to create an optimum framework for water sports with opportunities to play as well as to swim and win. At the same time the important goal of water safety should be kept in mind, so that everyone can have a safe and pleasant access to the water both in a swimming pool complex and at the open sea.
