arena launches “GUESS YOUR TIME”: a challenge for swimming enthusiasts ahead of the Paris 2026 European Aquatics Championships.
Ahead of the Paris 2026 European Aquatics Championships and as part of its “Planet Water. No Limits” brand campaign, built around the concept of time, arena is launching “Guess Your Time”, a public initiative for swimmers at Paris swimming pools. This initiative aims to rally swimming enthusiasts and strengthen the connection between everyday participation in the sport and one of the most prestigious events on the European aquatics calendar. Participants will have the chance to take on an exciting challenge and win tickets to attend the Paris 2026 European Aquatics Championships. What’s the idea? Participants will first have to guess the personal record of an athlete from arena’s Elite team, then predict the time they think they can achieve themselves over the indicated distance. They will then be invited to dive into the pool and cover that distance in the stroke of their choice, in a lane reserved for them. The challenge is not about setting the fastest time, but about accurately assessing their own performance. Those who come closest to the time they predicted before swimming will have the chance to win two tickets to attend the Paris 2026 European Swimming Championships. To ensure an enjoyable experience that is accessible to everyone, arena will provide all participants with a swim cap and swimming goggles to use during the activity.
