Heinz Plumanns was active in several water sports disciplines, as a swimmer, water diver and water polo player . His strongest discipline in swimming was the side swim , where he once just missed a new German record. In 1929 he was German champion on the three-meter board and in 1928, 1929 and 1930 in diving. As the German diving champion and third in the German jumping championship, he started jumping at the Olympic Games in Amsterdam in 1928 and finished eighth.
In 1932 Plumanns opened a print shop in downtown Cologne, which still exists today. After 1945 he was one of the founders of the West German Swimming Association; for many years he was its chairman and for 32 years its jumping warden. From 1953 to 1963 and from 1971 to 1973 he held this post in the German Swimming Association. Since 1996 the Mittelrhein swimming district has been awarding the Heinz Plumanns commemorative plaque for “outstanding services to swimming”.
