history

The association was founded in 1919. In the first few years there was no regular training; It was not until 1923, when the club had an open-air swimming pool available in the Höttinger Au, that swimming could be specifically promoted. Competitions in which only men took part, in Munich, Konstanz or Friedrichshafen, the swimmers of the Tyrolean water sports club were successful. Innsbruck then had three outdoor pools, two in Museumstrasse and one in Höttinger Au, an indoor pool was only completed with the municipal steam bath on Salurnerstrasse in 1927 and the indoor pool on Amraserstrasse in 1929.

The 1930s were a very successful decade for the club because, under the sporting direction of Hanns Seelos, many successes were achieved in the Tyrolean and Austrian championships, with swimmers, jumpers and water polo. Rainer Kellner was Austrian champion in backstroke swimming in 1934, 1935 and 1936 and Grete Ittlinger took part in crawl swimming at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. In the Austrian championship in 1936, the 3 × 100 m layer relay with Rainer Keller, Norbert Haas and Walter Webhofer won over the team from the First Vienna Amateur SC, which had dominated this discipline for ten years.

In 1933 there was a split and the Innsbruck Swimming Club was founded . took place. From this time on there were two swimming clubs in Innsbruck, which encouraged each other through competition and further developed swimming in Tyrol. During the Second World War, the club's activities were suspended.

In the 1950s, the club produced promising swimmers by creating good training conditions. Walter Pavlicek held the Austrian record for the 200 m chest for many years; the runner-up in the 4 × 200 m breaststroke Robert Cverlin, Peter Türler, Herwig Herbert and Alfred Stecher were called up for competitions in Austria.

From the 1960s, the association's activities were expanded to include all of Tyrol and sections were created in Telfs , Brixlegg and Landeck . In Innsbruck, the association was not satisfied with the pool in the Höttinger Au, especially with the water temperature, and was relieved that the city of Innsbruck opened a new pool in 1961, the Tivoli outdoor pool.

After a disappointing sporting year in 1969, the club was in a crisis in the early 1970s; a new chairman, Herwig Herbert, was appointed. In the next few years the club was able to celebrate countless championship titles in swimming again. The club formed a water polo team and celebrated first successes in the B-League.

Water polo

The water polo team made it into the A-League in 1981 and became Austrian indoor champions in 1982 and 1984. In the outdoor pool championship, the Tyrolean water polo players were runner-up in 1982, 1984, 1986, 1987 and 1988; in the European Cup you were eliminated in the first phase of the competition. For a team from western Austria, participation in international and national competitions was associated with comparatively high financial costs; the opponents of the Austrian championship were from Vienna ( Workers Swimming Club Vienna and First Vienna Danube SC ) and from Graz ( ATSE Graz ). In 1991 and 1992 the water polo section won the Austrian championship in the outdoor pool twice. In the summer of 1992 the section was outsourced and the association Wasserballclub Tirol was founded.
