BSF brings one of the World's biggest swimming stars to Bergen

Get ready for an unforgettable weekend when Olympic medalist and Australian superstar Kyle Chalmers arrives at the Bergen Swim Festival 2025, taking place April 4–6.

Chalmers, who recently added his third individual Olympic medal to his achievements in Paris, is renowned for his fierce competitive drive and lightning-fast finishes in the prestigious 100-meter freestyle. He’s also a top competitor internationally in butterfly events, and there’s a good chance he may join some of those races as well. We’re thrilled to welcome an athlete of this caliber, one who truly elevates the level of our meet in April.

To date, he holds 9 Olympic medals, a world title in the 100-meter freestyle from the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, and the short course world record in the 100-meter freestyle, to name just a few of his achievements.
