At the end of June, the beautiful Polish city of Szczecin pleased the European swimmers with the Open national swimming masters championship. It was very sports weekend in the Olympic water center Floating Arena.

Swimmers from Lithuania, Russia, Cyprus, Hungary, Slovakia, Belarus became guests of the Polish championship.
420 athletes battled for medals, having made many national and also European records.

Each participant of competitions received a souvenir – swimming cap with Michael Phelps’s autograph.

Start on 50 m butterfly in the first day of the championship brought me a gold medal.

Maybe my start was not the best in sprint, however the fastest underwater part and swimming at a distance brought the second victorious medal on 50 m of freestyle.
