History
An initiative of Per Westman, Linköpings ASS was founded in 1824 as Linköpings Simsällskap.[3] On 18 August 1824, the club organised their first swimming graduation ceremony (Swedish: simpromotion), where 9 bachelors and 20 masters graduated.[3] In 1891, the club took its current name, Linköpings ASS.[4]
Linköpings ASS had their first Olympic swimmer at the 1948 Summer Olympics, when Elisabeth Ahlgren participated.[5] In 1988, Linköpings ASS had their first Olympics synchronized swimmer at the 1988 Summer Olympics, when Marie Jacobsson participated.[5]
Led by coach Mikael Holmertz and swimmer Lars Frölander, Linköpings ASS was Sweden's best swimming club four years in a row from 2007 to 2010.[6]
In 2009, the water polo team of Linköpings ASS left the swimming club and started Linköpings VF.[7]
Bertil Wennberg became the swimming head coach in 2013. [8] In August 2021, Rebecka Lester became swimming head coach of Linköpings ASS after Niklas Larsson.[9] In 2022, Robin van Aggele, became swimming head coach of Linköpings ASS.[10]
