Swiss Aquatics sagt DANKE!⁣⁣ ❤️

❗️Der Weg aufs Podest ist teuer – Die Lotteriegesellschaften leisten Unterstützung❗️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Der Weg zum Erfolg ist lang, hart und steinig. Geeignete Infrastrukturen und Trainingsbe­dingungen sowie ein förderndes Umfeld vermögen, neben Talent und grossem Trainingseinsatz, viel zum sportlichen Erfolg beizutragen. Doch ohne die entsprechende finanzielle Unterstützung ist der Weg an die Spitze praktisch unmöglich.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Swisslos und die Loterie Romande bieten in der Schweiz im Auftrag der Kantone attraktive und sozialverträgliche Lotterieprodukte wie Swiss Lotto, EuroMillions oder Sportwetten an. Ihr Reingewinn kommt vollumfänglich der Gemeinnützigkeit zugute. So fliessen jährlich rund 200 Millionen Franken an Lotteriegeldern in den Schweizer Sport. Rund 65 Millionen davon stellen Swisslos und die Loterie Romande der Stiftung Sportförderung Schweiz zur Verteilung an den nationalen Sport zur Verfügung. Der Rest geht über die kantonalen Sportfonds vor allem an den Breitensport und Sportinfrastrukturen.

Swiss Aquatics dit MERCI!⁣⁣ ❤️

❗️Les loteries distribuent des millions au sport suisse❗️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Le chemin qui mène au succès est incertain et périlleux pour les sportifs de haut niveau. Au-delà du talent et du travail acharné, les infrastructures à disposition et les conditions d’entraînement ont une importance primordiale. Mais sans soutien financier, il est pratiquement impossible d’accéder à l’élite.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Swisslos et la Loterie Romande proposent en Suisse, sur mandat des cantons, des produits de loterie attractifs et socialement responsables comme le Swiss Lotto, l'EuroMillions, les billets et les paris sportifs. Leurs bénéfices sont intégralement reversés à l'utilité publique. Les montants alloués au sport, près de 200 millions de francs, profitent aussi bien au sport amateur qu'au sport d'élite. Ils sont versés d'une part aux commissions cantonales du sport pour financer le sport amateur et les infrastructures locales, et d'autre part à la Fondation suisse pour l’encouragement du sport pour être distribués au sport national.

Valuable race experience in Golfo Aranci 🇮🇹🌊

At the third stop of the World Aquatics Open Water Swimming World Cup 2026 in Golfo Aranci (1-2 May), the Swiss team competed against a strong international field under challenging conditions. The cold water, in particular, made this competition a real challenge. ❄️

🏊‍♂️ Men’s 10km
Christian Schreiber and Nolan Carrel led the Swiss results:
▪ Christian finished 23rd (1:49:39.40), showing progress compared to the previous week despite limited preparation
▪ Nolan placed 32nd (1:51:09.10), confirming his steady development and ambitions for the European Championships
▪ Solid efforts also from Kilian Carrel, Alessio Marbach and Claudio Lorenzetti. Unfortunately, Claudio had to withdraw midway through the race due to illness.

🏊‍♀️Women’s 10km
Emma Fredersdorf and Anina Bruhin had to compete in even colder water (❄️17.4°C), racing in wetsuits. Still recovering from last week’s efforts, both couldn’t quite match their previous performances.

👊 Men's 3km Knockout Sprint
Claudio and Alessio both competed in heat 2 but narrowly missed advancing to the next round.

🤝 Mixed 4x1500m
Emma, Christian, Anina & Nolan represented Switzerland in the relay competition, finishing 9th in 1:09:21.00

We congratulate the athletes on their performances under such demanding conditions!

Now it's time for recovery, fine-tuning, and full focus on upcoming competitions.

🌊 Battling the waves and a world-class field of competitors 🌍

At the second stop of the Open Water World Cup 2026 in Ibiza, the Swiss team delivered good performances under extremely challenging conditions. Cold water and heavy waves shaped the races, leading to numerous DNFs and disqualifications.

In the men’s 10 km race on Friday, the Swiss athletes proved their competitiveness in a world-class field. Christian Schreiber led the Swiss team with a strong 29th-place finish in 1:53:59.6, just 1:19 behind the winner. Paul Niederberger followed closely in 33rd place (1:54:05.0, +1:25), while Nolan Carrel delivered a solid performance in 41st (1:56:05.9), staying with the lead group until the final lap, and Kilian Carrel completed the team result in 45th (2:01:27.8). With only 67 of 99 starters reaching the finish, the race once again highlighted its extreme difficulty, making the Swiss results all the more impressive 💪🌊

In the women’s race, Anna finished 45th in 2:15:01.4, followed by Emma in 47th place in 2:16:10.9. Both athletes showed great resilience, managing their races well despite the challenging environment and gaining valuable experience at the highest international level.

On Saturday, all Swiss athletes competed in the 3km knockout sprint, with Christian, Nolan, and Paul reaching round two and finishing 20th, 23rd, and 25th.

In the 7.5km race of the Spanish Championships, Jacy Söllner (2009) finished 11th, Joshua Thölking (2009) placed 14th, and Lou Anna Benelli (2010) achieved a strong 8th place, showcasing promising performances against international competition. All three athletes also advanced to round two of the knockout sprint, underlining their continued development and ability to compete at a high level.

A united and determined Swiss team performance in tough conditions. Solid mid-field results and small time gaps to the top highlight the team’s potential - with more to come!
➡️ Next stop: Golfo Aranci on Sardinia (1-2 May) 🇮🇹
