Swimming courses
for children
The aim of our children's swimming courses is to teach the basics of swimming, ensuring children are safe in and around the water.
At our swimming school, fun and enjoyment are key, helping children feel comfortable and gradually develop their skills in the water.
Our children's swimming courses are structured around the Swiss basic tests (badges), which are divided into different competency levels. Children learn essential swimming elements such as breathing, floating, gliding, and propulsion. These skills serve as the foundation for various aquatic sports like swimming, water polo, synchronized swimming, etc., and help ensure safe and confident interaction with the water.
For parents looking for a suitable children's swimming course, Swimatic provides a professional solution. With years of experience, our swim school offers a wide range of swimming courses tailored for children aged 4 and up.
