Three reasons for APCO Swift Sport.
- PERFORMANCE
Race geometry without the competition premium
“Sharing its proven geometry and comfort, without the competition specific additional front reserve option”.
- FUN
The Sport Class balance
“The best balance between aerodynamics, comfort, weight and cost for Sport Class pilots”.
- LIGHT
Inflatable rear fairing
Inspired by the Swift Race — inflatable, but shorter than the original.

Frequently asked questions about the APCO Swift Sport.
Where does the Swift Sport sit in the range?
Exactly between Swift Race and Swift Zero. It inherits the proven geometry of the Race but is set up for everyday use. For pilots who fly sportily and go XC without needing the uncompromising competition spec, it is usually the most sensible choice of the three.
What do I gain from the shared geometry?
Seating position, hang points and handling match the Swift Race. If you have flown the Race and liked the position, you will find it again here. And the other way round: if you later move up to the Race, you will not have to re-learn the equipment.
What EN class does this harness have?
None — and that is not a defect but a common mix-up. EN classes A to D describe the flight behaviour of paraglider canopies under EN 926-2. Harnesses are tested to their own standard (EN 1651), which covers the attachment, strength and the protector. If someone offers you a harness as "EN-A", it is mislabelled. The actual test documents for this model are available as downloads.
Does the harness fit my wing?
In principle yes — harnesses and wings are not brand-bound. Two things matter: carabiner spacing and hang-point height. Both influence how directly the wing responds to weight shift; an XC wing wants a different geometry than a beginner wing. Tell us your wing and your body measurements and we will check the combination before you order.
Is a reserve parachute included?
No. Harness and reserve are ordered separately, and that makes sense: the reserve must match the suspended weight, the container the packing volume of the reserve. Tell us which rescue system you want to install — we will check in advance whether container and canopy fit together.
