History

[edit]

On initiative of Lars Löwenadler, student of Jöns Svanberg, Jönköpings SS was founded in 1829 and organised their first swimming graduation ceremony (Swedish: simpromotion) the same year.[2] Between 1921 and 1971, the name of the club was Jönköpings Sim- och Livräddningssällskap (JSLS).[3]

Jönköpings SS had their first Olympic swimmer at the 1972 Summer Olympics, when Inger Andersson participated.[4]
