Swimming Courses for Children
The Sports Office organizes swimming courses for children aged 5 years and older. For younger children, there is baby swimming, and for 2–4-year-olds, a play and splash swimming course.
Our swimming courses are playful and fun, with the goal of helping children learn to swim through games and enjoyable exercises. Great emphasis is placed on making sure all children feel comfortable in both the course and the water, and on fostering a positive attitude towards swimming.
The course fee includes admission to the swimming pool for both the child and an accompanying adult. The adult (over 16 years old) assists the child in the changing and shower rooms. During the course, the adult can either watch or swim themselves.
Swimming teachers are: Patrik Kulla and Marco Harju.
In courses, children can earn swimming badges issued by the Finnish Swimming Education and Life Saving Association (FSL). The badge system is designed to support children in learning to swim. Its main goal is to inspire children to develop their skills step by step, with badges and diplomas as recognition of their achievements. One badge included in the course fee. If a child earns additional badges during the course, there is a fee of 3€/ badge.
Learning starts with getting comfortable in the water, moving on to head immersion, floating, and gliding, and gradually progressing to basic swimming strokes and techniques.
