Welcome to Team EX Swimrun

Want to try Swimrun, train together with others, or join spontaneous sessions and adventures? Then you should join Team EX… completely free!

EX Swimrun offers regular training sessions at Rösjön in Sollentuna, where we combine open-water swimming with trail running. We also have our Fasta Bana, where you can practise Swimrun on a marked course, as well as dedicated swimming sessions together. Our training sessions are open to both beginners and more experienced participants. Bring a friend, training partner or family member and experience Swimrun training together with us!

Several different sessions and levels – everyone can join

We have three regular training opportunities every week during the season, all at Rösjön on the border between Sollentuna, Täby and Danderyd. Here we have access to several changing rooms and hot showers. Rösjön is a safe and secure place for Swimrun training, as no boat traffic is allowed. At the same time, the area offers fantastic opportunities for all levels – from beginners to elite athletes.

Become part of the Team EX Community

In addition to the opportunity to train regularly, we have created what we call Team EX – a community of around 150–200 members who all share a passion for Swimrun. There are several different groups covering everything from our regular training sessions and spontaneous training to race talk and a few bragging photos when we are out racing. We also offer Team EX members discounts and special offers from races and partners.

But above all, Team EX is an incredibly fun and social community to be part of. We promise that you will meet new Swimrun friends to train, race and laugh with. You can join Team EX via WhatsApp, where you can then choose from several different subgroups depending on what you are interested in. And new groups are added continuously!

For the love of the sport! 💗

Indoor training sessions

During the off-season (October–April), we will have indoor swimming sessions at the newly renovated Medley Sollentuna Simhall. Indoor training is included for all members of Edsbäckens IF, so join the club if you want to take part (see further down).

The focus of the sessions will be Swimrun swimming, using paddles and a pull buoy, but there will of course also be some technique training both with and without equipment.

Wednesdays 6.30-7.30

You need to be able to swim crawl to participate.
Bring paddles, a pull buoy and fins.
The focus of the sessions is Swimrun technique, but there will also be plenty of strength and distance training.
The goal is for the sessions to be challenging and rewarding.
Breakfast together after

Where, when and how?

You do not need to have all the equipment. In the WhatsApp group, you can ask to borrow equipment, and we can usually find a solution. But here are a few things that are good to know before joining a Team EX session at Rösjön.

What equipment do I need for Swimrun training?

For both sessions, basic equipment is enough:

Wetsuit (this can be a surf wetsuit, swimming wetsuit or Swimrun wetsuit) & Pull buoy
Shoes you can swim in (regular running shoes work fine, but trail shoes are best)

Optional but recommended: paddles, swimming goggles and a swim cap. If you want to know more, you can read our guide to Swimrun equipment. We have also collected the most frequently asked questions about Swimrun and created a Swimrun Lexicon.

Who can join?

Beginners who want to try Swimrun for the first time.
Experienced participants who want to train harder in a group.
Children and families at the Monday sessions (together with an adult).
Anyone who wants to bring friends or training partners.

Where does the training take place?

All sessions start and finish at Rösjö Camping, on the grass behind the café between the campsite and the beach. Map here.

How do I sign up and what does it cost?

No advance registration is required, but if you need to borrow equipment, please post in the WhatsApp group.
All sessions are completely free of charge – we do this because we love Swimrun! But please consider joining Edsbäckens IF (see below), which covers the cost of fika and other expenses.
