Frequently asked
What's the difference between long course and short course?
Long course meets are swum in a 50m pool; short course meets are in a 25m pool. Each Ripple race page indicates which course is used.
Do I need a federation license to enter?
Some pool meets require a national federation or FINA / World Aquatics license. Each Ripple race page lists the license requirement when known.
Are there masters competitions?
Yes — many European pool meets include masters categories (typically 25+). Use the category info on each race page to confirm eligibility.
Which European countries host the most pool meets?
Germany, France, Italy, the UK and the Nordics have the densest masters and age-group circuits, but every country in the calendar hosts national-level meets.
