About us
The La Rana swim team
In 2008, we, Laura and Ralf Driemeyer founded the swimming school La Rana.
With the support of our strong team, in Klinikum Höchst we quickly built up a wide range of courses for children from beginners to silver badge.
The course program at the Klinikum Höchst will be supplemented by our Aqua Fitness, as well as or workshops from December 2016 on. These are events such as Mermaid / Aquarius swimming and style swimming lessons.
In 2013, we expanded our range of courses to the Eschborn site.
In addition to the well-proven children’s swimming lessons and the Aqua Fitness, we have expanded our course program with aqua cycling courses for adults.
We work exclusively in small groups, so a relaxed atmosphere and high-quality work is guaranteed.
All of our course instructors attach great importance to a correct swimming style. They have been active in swimming clubs for many years and are familiar with swimming and the handling of children.
