SWIM RACE DAYS DORTMUND
Swim Sport Next Level
A few minutes of swimming - lots more waiting - that's how swimming competitions usually go. Swim Race Days are different - there's no chance of boredom here! By separating the age groups (8 - 12 years in the morning, 13 years and older in the afternoon) we avoid unnecessarily long breaks. If you still want to watch the whole event, you can experience exciting competitions with modern formats, qualifications and finals in the livestream. We also offer a great supporting programme. Victory awards, attractive prizes, a light show and thrilling finals await you. It's impossible not to watch our races! Are you ready?

Ukraine Aid up close
Sport connects. This statement has never been truer than today
Stefan with Olena, Egor and Lora in the new flat.
Already a few years ago, while people were seeking a safe life in Germany as they fled, SV Westfalen got involved with a water polo tournament in which the "refugee" Syrian national water polo team took part.
Now a call for help came from Ukraine. SV Westfalen Dortmund is known there for its Swim Race Days. Stefan Ryschawy received this call for help. He summarised his experiences in the following article.
We thank Stefan for his commitment and all those who helped him take care of his family.
