Every successful expedition depends on the people behind it.
As One Water Race returns to the Stockholm Archipelago in August 2026, we’re proud to welcome the Swedish Sea Cadet Corps (Sjövärnskåren) as an official partner.
Built on endurance, teamwork and respect for the sea, One Water Race demands far more than athletic performance. Behind every team is an organisation of experienced professionals and volunteers working together to make the race possible.
As part of this partnership, the Swedish Sea Cadet Corps will provide two operational support boats and experienced crews throughout the race, strengthening both race operations and safety on the water.
The Swedish Sea Cadet Corps is a voluntary defence organisation with a strong maritime focus. Through education and practical training, they develop seamanship, navigation, leadership and teamwork while supporting Sweden’s total defence. Their commitment to competence, responsibility and life at sea makes them a natural partner for One Water Race.
“One Water Race is built by people who know and respect the sea. We’re proud to welcome the Swedish Sea Cadet Corps to the race organisation and look forward to working together throughout One Water Race 2026,” says Thomas Ogander, Founder of One Water Race.
This partnership goes beyond operational support. It brings together two organisations that share a belief in preparation, teamwork and the confidence that comes from experience on the water.
Magnus Byström, Chairman of the Swedish Sea Cadet Corps, adds: “We believe that the partnership between the Swedish Sea Cadet Corps and One Water Race creates lasting value by bringing together maritime safety, hands-on education and a shared commitment to protecting the Stockholm Archipelago.”
Welcome aboard, Sjövärnskåren.
