Swimmingcourses for children
The Sports Office organizes swimming courses for children aged 5 years and above. For younger children there is baby swimming and for 2-4 year olds there is a play and splash swimming course.
The swimming courses are characterized by playful teaching where the goal is for the children to learn to swim through games and fun exercises. Great emphasis is placed on ensuring that all children enjoy both the swimming school and the water and that the children develop a positive attitude towards swimming.
During the swimming courses, the children have the opportunity to take badges, one badge is included in the course fee. If the children take several badges during the course, a fee of 3,00 €/badge will be added.
The course fee is paid at the cash desk at the first course session. The course price includes admission to the swimming pool for both a child and an adult. The child will receive his/her own 10-time swimming card with his/her name on it and the adult will receive an assistant card from the cashier at each course session. The accompanying adult (over 15 years old) helps the child in the changing room and shower room. During the actual swimming course time, the adult can watch or swim themselves.
Patrik Kulla & Sara Fagerholm act as swimming teachers.
In the swimming course, we take swimming badges issued by the Finnish Swimming Education and Life Saving Association (FSL).
The swimming badge system is designed to support children in learning to swim. Its main goal is to inspire children to want to learn more by receiving a swimming badge and diploma as proof of their achievement.
