Pál Joensen gave a speech at the opening ceremony of Páls Høll, which is named after him. Páls Høll has the first 50-meter swimming pool in the Faroe Islands, located in his home town Vágur.

He competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics for Denmark in three events: 400 metre freestyle, 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay and 1500 metre freestyle. As a Faroese athlete, he competed for Denmark as the Faroe Islands do not have a separate Olympic body.

Joensen holds many of the national swimming records for the Faroe Islands; and these records are not only in freestyle. In short course swimming he holds most of the records in breaststroke, butterfly and individual medley too.

Personal life

Born in the Faroe Islands, he moved to Copenhagen in August 2012, where he swims at the Danish National Training Centre.[4] He is now swimming for Aalborg Svømmeklub and for the Faroe Islands.[5] While in the Faroe Islands he had to train in a 25 m short course pool, because there was no 50 m pool in the Faroe Islands. He was training with Susvim (Susvim is short for Suðuroyar Svimjifelag, which means Suduroy Swimming Club). His trainer in the Faroe Islands was Jón Bjarnason.
