Our clubs

The clubs behind FinSwim.World

FinSwim.World grows out of two Zagreb finswimming clubs: they are where every programme is tested before we offer it to others, and they hold the track record of our European projects.

Since 2011

Finswimming Team Komet

KPP Komet · Zagreb, Croatia · PIC 923584725

Komet was founded in 2011 by the finswimmers of Diving Club Geronimo, where it had started as the finswimming section. From 2011 to 2015, with the support of the City of Zagreb, it ran the "Zagreb Finswimming Saturdays": seminars with world-class finswimmers and coaches, the Croatian club championship and international training camps with athletes from Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia.
