Club
The club pool is the Südbad , which was renovated from December 2003 to February 2007 and now again meets international requirements as a competition venue. During the years of renovation, the association used the Brackel indoor pool and the Dortmund north pool as a training facility. Several outdoor pools in Dortmund were used in the summer. After the completion of the south bath renovation, the internationally known swimming festival ISDO, which takes place every December, will be re-imposed.
