ONKS Nijmegen

After those two fantastic NSZKs, are you ready to carry it on to Nijmegen now? This year we have been given the honour of organising the ONKS 2025 and I hope to welcome as many members here as possible! Have you always hesitated to participate in an NSZK now? Then this is the chance to join a student swimming competition in your own home for once! Below is an overview with all the information.

Dinner

After the competition, a delicious dinner will be served at the pool in several shifts. The meal consists of a grand vegetable Kolhapuri (a mildly spicy curry with carrots, broccoli, and chickpeas). If you have any allergies, please let me now in your registration!

 

Party

The party starts at 22:00 at Café de Professor (Professor Bromstraat 54, 6525 BB Nijmegen). The theme will be announced later, so stay tuned! Note that the party is exclusively for participants aged 18 and older. Make sure everyone brings their ID, as entry will be checked at the door. This is not just any party—it’s a pitcher party with outrageously good deals on pitchers! Shots will also be available for only €2, so don’t miss out! 

 

Sleeping spots

All participants will be assigned to sleep with us as members. Normally at an NSZK, you also expect to have a place to sleep, so let's all try to make the weekend as hospitable as possible. Do you have a few spots left for some swimmers to sleep over the weekend? Then send Tess (+31 6 83898507) a message!

If you don't want to swim but just want to party, that's possible too! Just let me know when you register!
