Wörthersee Swim 2026
On September 5 and 6, 2026, Lake Wörthersee will once again transform into the stage for one of Austria’s most beautiful open-water events: the Wörthersee Swim. Hundreds of swimmers from Austria and abroad will compete – amidst one of the most impressive backdrops Carinthia has to offer.
Start at Maiernigg Beach
The race traditionally starts at Strandbad Maiernigg in Klagenfurt, a popular meeting point for active sports enthusiasts and Lake Wörthersee lovers.

It excites professionals, amateur athletes, and everyone who loves being active in the water. Added to this are a motivating atmosphere, first-class organization, and an incomparable natural experience.
