Others

marketing

The agency Rough Water & GmbH (RW &), based in Berlin, is responsible for the marketing of the German Swimming Association. Among other things, she also maintains the DSV's social media channels.

Digitization of the German Swimming Association

The German Swimming Association maintains a database for archiving all official swimming and water polo competitions. Particularly in swimming, every competitive swimmer who belongs to a club subordinate to the DSV has a unique identifier (DSV-Id).

In order to receive the results, all results must be submitted to the swimming association after official swimming competitions. To this end, the swimming association has officially used the DSV standard as an exchange format since 2002 in which the DSV ID is also saved for each participant.

This means that all saved results can be clearly viewed on the swimming association's website. Since July 2020, the individual results on data protection can only be queried if you know more data about the athletes than just their names. However, you can still access the results of individual events.
