Bremen swimming talents shine at North German championships!

In the Horner Bad in Bremen, the north German swimming championships of the 2013 and 2014 vintages were recently held, an event that was organized in cooperation between the Bremen State Swimming Association and the Blumenthaler TV. Over 300 children from the swimming associations Bremen, Brandenburg, Berlin, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt took part in the competitions.

The youngsters competed in different disciplines over 100 and 200 meters, as well as in eight competitions, which included different lines and routes. Among the 13 participants from Bremen were 8 girls and 5 boys who successfully faced the competition. The clubs represented included Bremen SV, GTV Bremerhaven, OSC Bremerhaven 1972 and the SG TSG HB10 Bremen.

success of the Bremen swimmers

Norbert Geyer, the department head swimming at the Blumenthaler TV, emphasized the importance of the competition for the young athletes' career. He was particularly proud of the results of his protégés: Sofie Mayer (born in 2014, OSC Bremerhaven) took second place in the 100-meter-Kraul discipline. Milan Stein (born in 2014, OSC Bremerhaven) was also distinguished and was third in the all-around battle of the breast disciplines and fourth over 200 meters of breast.

Tilda Deeken (born 2013, Bremischer SV) achieved third place over 100 meters back and fourth place over 200 meters back. In addition, she had the sixth best time with the 400 meter freestyle. Geyer described the entire tournament as excellent and praised the help of the children at the organization.

context of the swimming championships

swimming competitions like this are of great importance, especially for young club swimmers. According to paradisi.de such competitions are typically designed for younger years, and the requirements for the participants can vary depending on the competition. The German championships, for example, have a minimum age for the seniors (Masters) of 20 years, while at the international level of minimum age of 25 years.

The organization of such competitions requires a complex reporting system. This includes the creation of starting lists and compliance with exact regulations for layers and route lengths. In contrast to the open championships, which are often transferred on television, many local competitions are aimed at a younger audience that is promoted by special young competitions and child -friendly distances.

Overall, the organization of the North German Championships for the Blumenthaler TV represented a novelty and offered valuable experiences for future events.
