history
In the 1920s, the gymnastics and workers' sports club, which was founded in 1862, only had a small swimming section. That is why Bruno Knorr and Adi Frank decided to found the First Linzer Swimming Club on November 20, 1929 together with Juliane Pointner and Hannes Steinhuber.
The opening of the park pool in 1930 enabled both clubs to hold targeted training opportunities. In 1931 the first Linz club championships with round swimming and rescue exercises were held. A year later, the first regional swimming championships followed and the swimmers Hannes Steinhuber, Julius Kleim, Wimmer, Kreuzer, Konwalinka, Franz Laundorf, Brauneis and Lipa became Upper Austrian champions.
The water polo players were third in the Ostmark Championships in 1938. The water polo players with Witmar Loy, Franz Zigon, Alexander Patuzzi, Biefel, Skala, Töpel and Laundorf reached 4th place in the championship in 1941. Water polo players became East Mark champions in Hall in Tirol.
In 1938 the club had to change its club colors from blue and white to black and green, since blue and white are the colors of the Jewish Hakoah club . Kurt Patuzzi, who came from the Ersten Wiener Amateur SC , became the new swimming attendant, trainer and functionary at Ersten Linzer SC, and with Krubner, Hans Hackl, Walter Kellermayr, Franz Zigon, Roderich Deubler, Biefel and Witmar Loy made it into the "German" High performance class ". At the Gaume Championships in 1940 , that was the Upper Austrian regional championships at that time, in Bad Schallerbach the club achieved all championship titles, at the Greater German Swimming Championships in Vienna in 1941 Roderich Deubler won 1500 m crawl and won six titles at the Gaume Championships. In 1942, Hans Hackl, Walter Kellermayr and Franz Zigon were called to a "top-level training course" in Darmstadt, and in 1944 the club became the major German club champions in front of Hellas Magdeburg.
In the first weeks after the end of the war in 1945, the Parkbad was confiscated by the Americans and events did not take place again until August. The Linz swimming club changed its club colors to red and white and took the fabric from the old flag for its swimming trunks.
The 1968 qualification tournament in Milan, the national water polo team with Alexander Patuzzi missed the Olympic qualification by a draw against Spain, just by one goal. In 1995 the water polo players reached the upper play-off again for 17 years and were Austrian water polo cup winners five times in 1997, 1998, 2003, 2004 and 2006. Stefan Patuzzi and Thomas Lang represented Austria at the European Championships in Vienna. Six years later, in 2001, the water polo players won the club's first national water polo title and took part in the Champions League in Barcelona.
