history
The swimming club Wörthersee Klagenfurt was founded in 1967 by Rudolf Stejskal and Otmar Greinecker. They were helped by Kurt Herzig, Reimar Bach, Dietmar Bültemeyer and other volunteers and established themselves in the following years as one of the most successful swimming clubs in Carinthia.
The club trained in the old sports pool in Klagenfurt's lido. The first members signed up for swimming and water polo. The people of Klagenfurt organized trips to Kranj , where they trained in the city's indoor swimming pool. The water polo players played their way into the Austrian water polo league and the club got its own indoor pool in 1972. Success came with countless state champions, as well as participants in world and European championships and participation in the 1980 Olympic Games by Herwig Bayer . The water polo players celebrated their first championship title in 1979.
At the beginning of the 1990s, the Klagenfurt indoor pool was closed for some time and the club had to look for other training options under chairman Alfred Wurzer and found a training facility in the indoor pool in St. Veit / Glan. The water polo players, who despite the circumstances became Austrian champions again in 1998, had to stop playing after this success.
