The competition took place in the years 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022. The finals were always held in the Czech Republic (successively: Relax Centrum Kolštejn, Hrubá Voda, Wellness Hotel Frymburk, Aqualand Moravia, Aquapalace Praha). From the beginning, the competition has been international with participants from many countries.
