Suðuroyar Svimjifelag, mer känt under smeknamnet Susvim, är en färöisk simklubb baserad på den färöiska ön Suðuroy som bildades den 6 september 2007. Den mest framstående simmaren som tävlar är Pál Joensen, som sommaren 2010 vann EM-silver på distansen 1500 meter frisim. Klubbens huvudtränare är Jón Bjarnason. Klubben är baserad vid 25-metersbassängen i Vágurs simhall i staden Vágur. Eftersom det inte finns någon 50-metersbassäng på Färöarna, behöver de aktiva i klubben resa utomlands för att träna i en längre bassäng. Det finns dock inom Vágs kommuna planer på att anlägga en 50-metersbassäng i kommunen.[1]

He comes from a village in Suðuroy which is called Vágur and has around 1400 inhabitants. Later, in 2010, when he was old enough to swim with the adults, he won a silver medal in the European Swimming Championships (LC) in 1500 meters freestyle. On 31 Juli 2011 he was number four at the World Championship in Shanghai (LC) with the time 14:46.33. Joensen has qualified for the Olympic Games in London 2012, he will swim for Denmark, because the Faroe Islands are not recognized as an independent state. The Faroe Islands are a self-governing part of the Danish Kingdom just like Greenland. (Updated in August 2011)

Bjarnason comes from Vágur, the same village as Pál Joensen, the village has currently around 1400 inhabitants. Pál Joensen and his coach Jón Bjarnason has gained great results in international swimming competitions, the last one was when Joensen won silver in 1500m Freestyle at the European Championships in Budapest 2010 on long course. And the fact that the Faroe Islands don't have a 50 m pool yet and still could gain such good results amazed many people. Bjarnason's swimmers in Susvim including Pál Joensen train daily in the 25 meter long pool in Vágur and in the 12,5 meter long pool in Tvøroyri.

The Swimming Hall of Vágur has one pool, which is 25 meters long. It is the only pool in the island Suðuroy, which is so long. There is one swimming pool in Tvøroyri, which is 12,5 meters long. There are other pools of this length in other places in the Faroe Islands, but as of October 2010 there is no 50-meter pool, but one will be built very soon, they say. A group of people are planning to build a 50-meter swimming pool in Pál Joensen's hometown Vágur. He was triple gold winner at the European Junior Swimming Championships 2008 and silver winner at the European Swimming Championships 2010 on long course. The person on this photo is Pál Joensen, who is training in this pool daily. Sometimes he and his coach go abroad in order to train in a 50-meter pool. The swimming pool in Vágur is in the public school, it was built in 1979.
