Philipp Döhler at SO Colorado Swimming Competition

Philipp Döhler participated in the SO Colorado, USA, Regional Swimming Competition. The competition took place on April 28, 2024, at Arapahoe High School in Centennial, near Denver. Philipp competed in three events: 25m, 50m, and 100m breaststroke. He achieved impressive results, including 2nd place in the 50m breaststroke and 1st place in the 25m breaststroke. The 100m breaststroke race was particularly exciting, where he finished in 2nd place. Despite some organizational challenges, the participation was a complete success. Philipp made many new contacts and enjoyed the atmosphere at the pool. Special thanks go to the supporters at SO Switzerland and SO Colorado. It was noted that it might be helpful for Swiss athletes to have an athlete card similar to the one in the USA to facilitate participation in competitions abroad.
