Learning to swim
Seahorse course (badge)
During this course in the two-meter deep water pool, the children learn how to swim breaststroke safely. Starting with the correct movement of the legs, our instructors then teach them how to use their arms and legs in a coordinated manner for swimming. The goal is to achieve the “Seahorse” badge. This includes breaststroke without aids over a distance of 25 meters as well as jumping and diving. For the latter, an object from shoulder-high water must be brought to the top.
- Age: from 5 years
- Prerequisite: An accompanying person brings the child to the pool and picks it up again (you can watch during the course). In addition, there must be no medical objections against swimming (the corresponding certificate must not be older than one year at the beginning of the course).
- Do not forget: Swimming cap with name, water wings, bathing shoes, shorts or suit, towel

Seahorse just missed
Those who have roughly internalized the breaststroke technique, but have only had swimming experience with a safety belt so far, can take additional practice hours in the two-meter deep pool to achieve the “Seahorse” badge.

Jumping and fetching an object from shoulder-deep water is also tested.

Whoever is the proud owner of the “Seahorse” badge may register for the backstroke course.

However, this is not equal to other swimming level badges.

For children of pre-school age
We offer special courses for children’s institutions. It is an advantage if the children know each other. There is no fear of contact, the participants motivate and inspire each other. The children should be familiar with the element water and have experience with swimming sleeves. Gliding, diving and jumping are taught. When learning the breaststroke technique, first the leg movements are practiced intensively, then the overall coordination of arms, legs and breathing. As the progress of the exercise increases, the swimming aids are systematically removed. The goal is to reach the “seahorse badge”. Registration is possible at any time for swimming times in the morning or afternoon. In addition to the course instructor from Dresdner Bäder GmbH, educators from the children’s institution help to accompany the course.
