Stockholms Kappsimningsklubb, commonly known as Stockholms KK or SKK, is a Swedish swimming club from Stockholm founded on 12 July 1895, who competes in swimming and water polo. The swimming club goes under the nickname Kappis.[2] [3] The most famous swimmers of SKK are the twin brothers Arne Borg and Åke Borg. SKK organizes yearly an invitational meet named after Arne Borg, Arne Borgs minne.
Stockholms KK resides in Eriksdalsbadet, Åkeshovs simhall, Nälstabadet, and Spångabadet.[4]
Founded in 1895, Stockholms KK was one of the first swimming clubs specialised in competitive swimming, where earlier had been running shows and swimming graduation ceremonies (Swedish: simpromotion), and organised the first Swedish Swimming Championships.[2]
Stockholms KK had their first Olympic swimmer at the 1900 Summer Olympics, when Erik Eriksson participated.
Stockholms KK also had early success in Swedish swimming – by 1935, the club had taken half of the individual Swedish championship titles that had been contested.[2] Stockholms KK swimmers won all the men's Swedish Swimming Championships titles in 100 metre freestyle between 1902 and 1914, all the first men's 200 metre freestyle events from 1915 to 1925, and all the men's 3 metre springboard diving titles between 1925 and 1942.
In 1972, SKK-Spårvägen was started by Spårvägens GoIF, Stockholms KK and Bromma SS and lasted during the decade – when it ended, the water polo team remained at Stockholms KK.[5]
In 2016, Tero Välimaa was appointed swimming head coach for Stockholms KK.[6]
In 2022, former Olympic swimmer Anders Holmertz was named swimming head coach for Stockholms KK.[7]
