The first contact with the water
In our lovingly designed course, children aged 5 and up discover water step by step. In small groups, we create a calm, safe atmosphere where fears can be reduced and a love of water can grow.
Our experienced and empathetic coaches provide individual and patient guidance to each child. With clear structure, child-friendly instruction, and simple exercises, children learn the basics of breaststroke – at their own pace and with many small successes that build self-confidence.
The course runs for eight weeks, with one 45-minute session per week. This regularity provides security, promotes sustainable progress, and makes learning to swim a positive and memorable experience.

These badges are internationally recognized and confirm the same basic swimming skills as the German Swimming Federation (DSV) badges. They allow children to demonstrate their swimming abilities beyond the borders of Germany.
Additionally, children can also earn the German Seahorse badge with us.
Furthermore, the DSLV swimming levels place particular emphasis on self-protection and safety in the water.

Yes. We offer lifeguard training from bronze to gold level. The training includes both theoretical content and practical exercises in the water.
Is snorkeling training also offered?
Yes, we offer snorkeling training that teaches the safe handling of snorkel, mask and fins as well as basic diving and breathing techniques.
Are there waiting lists?
Yes, for fully booked courses we keep a waiting list and will inform you as soon as a place becomes available.
How do I register my child?
Registration is done online. After registering, you will receive a confirmation with all the important information.
Can parents watch the lessons?
For pedagogical reasons, parental presence is not possible. This allows the children to concentrate better.
A separate arrangement applies to individual lessons.
