After four years the world of swimming science will be meeting once again at the XIVth International Symposium of Biomechanics and Medicine in Swimming (BMS), this time in Leipzig/Germany. Due to current circumstances we are starting online in July 2022 with a Virtual Kick Off, followed by five virtual conferences between September 2022 and June 2023.
And finally we are coming together in person for our in-site-symposium from 6-9 september 2023.
