Stockholms Kappsimningsklubb, known as Stockholms KK or SKK and nicknamed Kappis, is a Swedish swimming club from Stockholm founded on 12 July 1895, which competes in swimming and water polo. It was one of the first Swedish clubs to specialise in competitive swimming, taking over from earlier shows and swimming graduation ceremonies, and it organised the first Swedish Swimming Championships. Its first Olympic swimmer was Erik Eriksson at the 1900 Summer Olympics, and by 1935 it had taken half of the individual Swedish championship titles contested. Its best known swimmers are the twin brothers Arne Borg and Ake Borg, and it holds a yearly invitational meet named after Arne Borg. The club uses Eriksdalsbadet, Akeshovs simhall, Nalstabadet and Spangabadet.
