History
CN Barcelona was founded on 10 November 1907, by Bernat Picornell and a group of 16 friends who regularly attended the Gimnasio Solé, thus becoming the first swimming club in Spain.[3][4] It played a key role in the creation of the Catalan and Spanish Swimming Federations, as well as the Spanish Olympic Committee, which allowed the first Spanish swimmers, all from the CNB, to participate in the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp.[4]
It is also the oldest water polo club, playing its first match against a crew of an English ship on 12 July 1908.[4]
