Children’s Swimming Courses for Intermediate Learners
For children who already know a little...
If you want to learn to swim, you have to get in the water
Our swimming courses for intermediate learners are designed for children who can already swim a few meters without a swimming aid but cannot yet manage longer distances. The goal is to consolidate what has already been learned and build on it – with fun, structure, and plenty of movement.
Intermediate Level I (approx. 4–8 years)
This course is aimed at children who can swim several meters independently but still need support to cross an entire 25-meter pool without a break.
We strengthen confidence in their own abilities, promote endurance and coordination, and work on improving breaststroke and backstroke technique – always in a playful and child-friendly way. At the same time, the children also learn other swimming styles and gain confidence in the water.
Intermediate Level II
In this course, children who can already swim across a 25-meter pool and are ready to further develop their skills will train.
The goal is to swim freely and safely over longer distances. We refine the technique in breaststroke, backstroke, and freestyle, introduce children to additional swimming styles, and thus lay the foundation for solid, athletic swimming development.
