Swimming school from 4 years
Best activity of the week
It is important to us that everyone has the opportunity to learn to swim in a safe environment.
The lessons are characterised by versatility and variety with a strong element of play.
As a first step in the swimming school, we start by teaching the children to find their balance in the water, to learn to float and to trust the buoyancy of the water, and then move on to learning the different swimming strokes, where we teach crawl as the first stroke. All learning is based on children’s abilities and potential. Our instructors are always in the water to help each child based on their skills and needs, and no one has to do anything they don’t feel comfortable with.
In the swimming school, children develop mastery of the breaststroke, backstroke and crawl for at least 200 metres, and are completely comfortable underwater.
The children’s swimming school is divided into five different levels and the group composition is based on prior knowledge and not age. With us, your child can go to swimming school regardless of his or her level, everyone is welcome. Read more about the required prerequisites and what is achieved in each course under Course Overview.
On the first two courses a parent is in the pool. With us, your child can start swimming school from the age of 4 if they have water experience and are comfortable being underwater. If you do not have water experience, we recommend a course in swimming ice before the swimming school.
Swimming badges are much appreciated by children. Receiving a certificate of achievement in the form of a swimming badge is one way to be motivated to learn even more.
There is the possibility of taking swimming badges during the course. This is completely voluntary and will not be part of the teaching. For each pool, there are specifications for what to do for each mark. If you want to show that you have passed a certain badge, you tell your instructor during the lesson to show it. You can then buy the badge at the end of the course. We take swish, it is also possible to say that you want an invoice and we will solve it. 1 badge = 65kr.
