Stockholm Racing Swimming Club

What Stockholm Racing Swimming Club does

Stockholms Kappsimningsklubb (SKK), branded as "Kappis," is a Swedish non-profit sports association (ideell förening) headquartered in Bromma, Stockholm, that provides swimming and water polo training for children, youth, and adults. Founded in 1895, it is one of Sweden's oldest swimming clubs and offers a vertically integrated curriculum spanning beginner simskola (swim school), tekniksim (technique), träningssimning (training groups), tävlingssimning (competitive swimming), vattenpolo (water polo from youth to elite), crawlkurser (adult freestyle courses), and seasonal sommarsimskola (summer swim school).

The club's underlying technology stack is modest: the kappis.se website serves as the primary booking and information platform, supplemented by Instagram (@skksim) and Facebook for community engagement. Member administration, booking, group chat, and invoicing/payment are handled through the WeUnite mobile application (provided by WeUnite AB), available on Google Play and App Store. There is no proprietary technology, no AI/ML infrastructure, and no API surface; integrations are limited to the WeUnite communication layer.

Revenue mechanics are entirely subscription- and fee-based. Membership and course fees are invoiced per semester: adult motion swimming is 700 kr/semester, crawl courses for adults are 1,700 kr plus a 300 kr membership fee, while training group and competition fees vary by level and event. The club is member-funded — no institutional investors, no venture capital, and no parent company. Its customer base is split between children/youth (primary) and adults (secondary), with no enterprise or B2B customers. SKK is governed by an elected board (styrelse), led by Klubbchef Christer Lindqvist, and operates across multiple municipal swimming facilities including a temporarily relocated headquarters at Nälstabadet during the Åkeshov simhall renovation (2014–2017).
