EC Glasgow - Bollettino LEN

Il saluto del Presidente Paolo Barelli estratto dal bollettino LEN

Dear Friends,

Here we go again, the LEN Family is heading back to Glasgow, host of the 2018 European Championships which was an enormous success. We are expecting no less as our continent’s top swimmers will gather once again in the magnificent Tollcross International Swimming Centre for the European Short Course Swimming Championships.

This event has grown into a major showcase in the global sport calendar as it features the top stars of the top aquatic discipline. Hosts of the past editions did their utmost to create a brilliant environment for this outstanding competition. Herning, Netanya and Copenhagen all contributed a great deal to make this meet a real highlight of the season.

Next comes Glasgow, and we are convinced that we will be part of another memorable show which shall present us such amazing performances as Adam Peaty’s and Kliment Kolesnikov’s World Record- breaking swims in the summer of 2018.

The highly dedicated local organisers and the professional staff of British Swimming have proved numerous times that they are committed to offer the highest standards in all events hosted on the British Isles. I’m sure they are ready to do it again.

Besides finding reliable hosts as Glasgow, LEN is also happy to provide the strongest possible support for our National Federations and of course for our wonderful athletes and coaches. They are in the heart of our operations which aim to keep European Aquatics on top in the global game.

Let me already thank the efforts of the organisers and the local partners standing by the event and we are looking forward to witnessing another memorable edition of our treasured short course swimming championships.

See you in Glasgow!

Paolo Barelli LEN President
