This morning, the LEN European Swimming Federation announced that the organization of the 2013 Masters Championship has been assigned to the Royal Dutch Swimming Association. Eindhoven will be the setting of the event including Swimming, Diving, Open Water Swimming and Synchronised Swimming. The KNZB celebrates its 125 - year anniversary in 2013 and the celebration of this anniversary will be concentrated around this tournament.

In the Masters Championships about 5,000 athletes aged 25 and older are expected. Though for many the adage Fitness, Fun and Friendship is more important than the performance, many athletes still train at an elite level and in the European record lists several former Olympians can be found.

The Netherlands successfully hosted the European Championships Swimming (Eindhoven 2008 and 2010) and will be the host of the European Water Polo Championships, the European Diving Championships and the LEN Cup Final in Open Water Swimming in 2012. The KNZB picture of an athletes village in the region, the Dutch hospitality, the well-experience organisation, and the splendid accessibility of the Netherlands by car, train and airplane convinced the LEN bureau including KNZB president Erik van Heijningen to accept the Dutch bid. Olympic champion Jolanda de Rover and Inge de Bruijn supported the bid with a video message.
 


Never before an international Masters Championships took place in the Netherlands. After hosting the European Championships for all sport disciplines, the Masters complete the series of major European swimming tournaments.

Besides the Netherlands, Hungary, Slovenia and Turkey presented strong bids for the Masters.
