Different body images and clichés come together in the outdoor pool. '4ever young' is a staged fashion show with various bathing and outdoor pool accessories from different decades.

Underwater rugby is a fascinating niche sport that was supposedly invented in Mülheim an der Ruhr. In Overwater Rugby: Club Darlington e.V., the dance company TachoTinta plays with underwater rugby players on dry land. To do this, the rules have to be changed and new groupings have to be formed – and sometimes the referee also has to be contradicted. Training turns into choreography and the contest turns into a dance.

In addition to his artistic work as a performer, the Australian Damian Rebgetz is also a very good swimmer. In Germany he not only acts on numerous independent and city theatre stages, he has also spent a whole summer working as a lifeguard at a Berlin open-air pool.

In Mülheim 'Guy Working at a Pool' will be seen in a version specially re-worked for SCHWIMM CITY.
