The origin of Rondje Pampus dates back to the beginning of 2011, when a group of enthusiastic open water swimmers and nature lovers decided to combine their passions into one open water swimming event. Inspired by the rich history of Fort Island Pampus and the natural beauty of the IJsselmeer area, they wanted to create a unique swimming experience that not only offered a physical challenge but also drew attention to the vulnerable ecosystems in and around the water..

Over the years, Rondje Pampus has grown into a well-known swimming event that attracts participants from all over the Netherlands and even beyond. The event emphasizes the importance of nature conservation and sustainability, while at the same time celebrating the unique cultural-historical value of the area.
