Children love water, We help you deal with it in a playful way
We offer children's swimming courses for all ages and abilities. These are about gradually introducing your child to the basic forms of swimming (such as breathing, floating, propelling and gliding) and learning the four techniques (back crawl, front crawl, breaststroke and dolphin) in a playful way. Your child will be professionally introduced to the different levels by our trained leaders. We take away your child's fears and give them fun and security. Swimming also promotes self-confidence.
Our particular focus is on conveying the joy of water to children and young people.
