The Schwimmclub Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin e.V. has been existing since May 15th 1997. Because of the length of the name we often just say in short "SC Humboldt" or "Humboldt Uni".
The name also represents our origin. We come from the swimming section of the many kinds of sports containing HSG Humboldt Universität Berlin (HSG = HochschulSportGemeinschaft). We did this step because we liked to pick up our sporting and financial skills ourselves.
This name is an obligation for us to offer an attractive training and leisure time especially for students. Of course, we like to welcome every other swimmer.
Our club has 350 members as of 11 Nov 2007. Our great development during the last years you can see here:

The children and youth team

Hi, Kids and Teens. On every Tuesday afternoon you can demand yourselves and show your swim and sports rookies how does the Ian Thorpe of the future swim. By the way, in summer it's really a good impression on the other sex showing a set of hard muscles instead of soft arms. Well then, check out the Training Hours and Contacts and get ready for a first jump into the water.
And for giving your thoughts and opinion to the adults as well as getting informed about every news there are youth representatives who are led by youth advisor Daniel Tochatschek. Further members of the youth representatives are:
  • Andreas Frank (first representative),
  • Pauline Sander (spokeswoman),
  • Alexander Schiebler (spokesman).

The students and masters team

You are good in swimming, maybe challenged in a competition and want to become faster or at least stay at your level? So you are really right at the students and masters team. The name seems to irritate. You don't need to be a student to be with us. But in obligation to our club's name we'd like to offer an attractive training and leisure time especially for students. Currently we train three times a week - somtimes with and sometimes without program. On Tuesday and Wednesday our trainers take care for a good motivation and mood. Most of the one hour taken Training Hours we swim in average 2.5 km (about 1.6 miles). If you are in a bad mood or you want to train more intensive, then you are able to swim your own individual program. But within a team it's much easier, isn't it?
You will find a selection of competitions under Competitions. Just come to one of our training hours or look for your Contacts.
We're sure, you'll enjoy it!

Beginner's swimming

The SC Humboldt-Uni offers swimming courses for children from five years on. Our little ones learn swimming by modern methods from experienced and qualified teachers. Especially in our region rich in water it is really nice and also important to be able to swim. In a four months beginner's course, usually starting in September and January, this (surviving) capability will be fixed up.

The current dates for swimming courses you will find under News & Info. Who is interested now can register under Contacts or during one of our Training Hourse.

Aquafitness

Fit by aquafitness. It doesn't matter if you are male or female, young or old - this kind of physical exercise becomes more and more popular. In fact, with brisk music and using different equipments it will never be boring. Fit by Fun! - that's the slogan ... and not by desolate jogging, hard biking or monotonous lifting of weights in a fitness centre. You don't need to be able to swim to be with us, because aquafitness is performed in shallow water of about 1 meter (about 3 feet) depth.
The hit - the first visit is free to get some impressions. After that every course which takes a month costs just 10 Euro. Who wouldn't join us under such conditions?
And now look Contacts, check Training Hours and go to Schwimmhalle Fischerinsel to do aquafitness with the SC Humboldt-Uni Berlin.

See you :-).
