As for many other clubs, times are not easy for the DLRG.

But there was a reason to be very happy at the online annual meeting of the lifesavers.

Wolfratshausen - The DLRG Schäftlarn-Wolfratshausen fared no better than other clubs.

The lifesavers had to hold their general meeting online due to the pandemic.

A good 50 members and guests followed the unusual format on their home screens via zoom.

The intermunicipal indoor swimming pool should create new possibilities - but there are still many question marks for the DLRG

The indoor pool situation took up more space in the assembly.

As far as the intermunicipal indoor swimming pool in Geretsried is concerned, the DLRG management does not yet know any details.

"We don't know when, whether and at what price we can use the indoor pool," said Benedikt Fischhaber, Deputy Head of Training, with regret.

In return, Robert Klingel was able to provide the members with much more positive information about the Wolfratshausen teaching pool.

After the well-known longer phase of decision-making, a 16-meter-long teaching pool is now to be built as part of the renovation and expansion of the Hammerschmiedschule, for which the local association has also campaigned.

According to Klingel, this new pool could be used for beginners' and children's swimming courses in the future.

The club boss took the opportunity again to thank all Wolfratshausen city councils, because the decision was unanimous in the end after various preparatory discussions.

Despite Corona, many bathers romped about at the lake.

This means great responsibility for the DLRG

The chronologically ordered reports of the board of directors around club boss Robert Klingel began with the annual meeting of the previous year, which had taken place a week before the first lockdown.

In the week after that, all swimming training had to be canceled for the time being.

The bathing area on the Karniffelbach was also closed.

With the corresponding organizational effort, as Sebastian Hafner, the head of operations, reported, the DLRG nevertheless completed the water rescue service.

That was also urgently needed: Many bathers cavorted at the lake during the first Corona season.

The “only” 1929 waking hours at the St. Heinrich water rescue station could be explained, according to Vice Mathias Feichtbauer, “that the team was also limited to five people per watch day”.

Corona influenced the DLRG local association in all areas

The exercises that the training and action departments organize together usually only took place online.

Many beloved activities of the association had to be canceled, such as the Easter egg hunt in spring or the cookie destruction festival in winter.

After all: the DLRG was allowed to organize their traditional lake crossing, 40 swimmers accepted this sporting challenge.

Financially one had to accept a significant loss of sales due to the failed swimming offers, nevertheless a small annual surplus of almost 1000 euros remained in the till.

The association was even able to build up some reserves - and it was also happy about two large donations that it will put into swimming training.

An emotional high point was the honor of Alfons Krauser on the occasion of his 50-year membership in the DLRG.

Krauser had shaped the association like no other in its early years and was its chairman for over three decades.

The two current bosses, Klingel and Feichtbauer, had already personally handed over the corresponding certificate to Krauser in the run-up to the meeting (we reported).
