Let's rewind the tapes back to the '70s in Ostbevern, Germany. Back then, the BSV Swimming Department, a splash in the ocean of the much older BSV Ostbevern sports club, was born. This dynamic duo has been a part of Ostbevern's rich sports history for decades.

Things heated up when Heinz Eickelmann, Willi Frye, and Udo Martschinke, three passionate swimmers, saw the potential in swimming as a viable sport within their community. After hosting a successful public swimming event to gauge the interest, they successfully called for the formation of a swimming department. The venue for this grand launch was the brand-new Beverbad, a pool that saw over a century's worth of bathers rush through its turnstiles in one day!

So, here we are, 50 years later, celebrating the vibrant history of the BSV Swimming Department. It all started with a vision, some guts, and an unquenchable love for swimming!

Now, if you're here for the nitty-gritty details, such as the exact year of establishment, or perhaps a deeper dive into the founders' lives, coat-trails, and archival material, I've got you covered! Just ask, and I'll do my best to serve up the goods.

The trio of Heinz Eickelmann, Willi Frye, and Udo Martschinke recognized the sporting potential of swimming in their community during the 1970s. Decades later, their vision and passion for swimming continue to be celebrated as part of Ostbevern's rich sports history.
