Training concept
Our training program is based on different skill levels. Starting with learning to swim in one of our “Seahorse” classes (for ages 4 and up), participants then have the opportunity to further improve their skills in the Bronze class and learn the various basic swimming strokes. After that, they can improve their swimming endurance and technique in the Silver class.
With the achievement of the silver badge a change into the club is possible.
