Schwimmschule Tortuga

This course is aimed at all children, from the age of 4, who would now like to learn how to swim.

The children will gently and playfully learn to move safely and independently in the water without fixed swimming aids (water wings, etc.). The fun of being in the water and the movement should be in the foreground and possible fears should be reduced.

After getting used to the water, breathing, diving, jumping, floating and gliding, the introduction to the first arm and leg movements of swimming, as well as the movement in the water with and without aids, follows.

The goal of this course is the acquisition of the early swimmer badge "Seepferdchen". The requirements for earning the badge can be found here.

Further information (course name, course fee, locations) can be found here.

Please keep in mind that your child is not yet a safe swimmer after earning the “Seepferdchen”. We therefore recommend our follow-up course „Bronzekurs„.

This course is for all children who have already earned their “Seepferdchen”.

In this course, the children consolidate what they have already learned, improve their swimming endurance, as well as the learned swimming position through age-appropriate technique exercises and learn the different basic swimming essentials (crawl, backstroke and breaststroke). Diving and jumping are also constantly improved and are intended to further promote fun in the element of water.

The goal of this course is the acquisition of the German swimming badge "Bronze". The requirements for earning the badge can be found here.

For all children who want to continue swimming after the bronze badge, we recommend our „Silver course“.

This course is for all children who have already earned their “Seepferdchen” and "Bronze" badges.

In this course, the children improve their swimming endurance, as well as their swimming skills and abilities in the various basic swimming modes. Furthermore, the children's technique is constantly improved through child-oriented technique exercises.

The goal of this course is the acquisition of the German swimming badge "Silver". The requirements for earning the badge can be found here.
