Equipment is expensive
A competition monofin costs 250–600 euros. For many families, especially in low-income households and in countries where the sport is just starting, that alone closes the door.
Support us
Help everyone swim like a dolphin
Finswimming should not depend on how much a family can spend. Your donation, sponsorship or time keeps our inclusive programmes free and puts fins on the feet of people who could never buy them.
Why it matters
The barriers we want to remove
Few adapted programmes
Children and adults with disabilities, for example on the autism spectrum, rarely find adapted water programmes, although water and fins bring them a lot: motor skills, self-confidence and water safety.
Clubs depend on grants
In 2025, 93% of Komet's income came from EU projects. When a project ends, free places and coaches' salaries are at risk. Private support makes these programmes last.
What your support funds
Two programmes, open to everyone
Free inclusive finswimming
Regular swimming and finswimming sessions, free for participants, for children, young people and adults with disabilities and from vulnerable groups, training together with their peers in the Komet and Novi Jelkovec clubs.
Today these places are funded by two ESF+ projects, Snaga peraja and Valovi uključenosti (2026–2028). Donations and sponsorships will keep them open after the projects end, and add more places, transport and adapted equipment.
Equipment library
A stock of monofins, bi-fins and centre snorkels that athletes can borrow for free, so that nobody has to stop because of the cost of equipment. Outgrown fins are passed on to the next swimmer, in Zagreb and in partner countries.
We are building it now: new and used fins in good condition are very welcome.
How to help
Four ways to support
Donate
Any amount helps: every donation goes to free places in the inclusive programme or to new fins for the equipment library.
Donations go to KPP Komet, a non-profit sports association registered in Zagreb (OIB 11305346197). Write to us and we will send you the bank details and a confirmation of your donation.
Donate by bank transferSponsor a programme
For companies with a corporate social responsibility plan: sponsor places in the inclusive programme or a set of fins for the library.
In return: your logo on the equipment and on this website, and a yearly impact report with real stories and numbers.
Talk about sponsorshipDonate equipment
Monofins, bi-fins, centre snorkels and swimming equipment in good condition go straight into the equipment library. We can collect in Zagreb or arrange shipping.
Offer equipmentVolunteer
Coaches, parents, senior athletes and students: help in the pool, at competitions and bootcamps, or with translation, photos and fundraising.

Where the money goes
KPP Komet is a non-profit association: nobody takes a profit or a dividend. Income from our paid services (bootcamps, remote coaching, equipment and consulting) and from donations is reinvested in the sport.
- 50% of the surplus: more places in the free inclusive programme, transport and adapted equipment
- 30%: a reserve that keeps programmes running when grant payments are late
- 20%: new loan equipment, coach education and open learning content
Each season we measure participation and attendance, test swimming skills at the start and end of the season, and ask parents about motor skills, self-confidence and social life. Sponsors and donors receive the results in a yearly impact report.
