Aims

  • Learning the freestyle swimming technique

  • Learning the dolphin leg movement
  • Consolidation of already learned types of swimming

The crawl swimming course for children is aimed at children who have already acquired the silver badge. After swimming breast and back, we want to teach the children the correct freestyle technique. It is the fastest of the four swim styles and a prerequisite for the acquisition of the gold badge. Breathing is the biggest challenge of freestyle swimming. Only those who learn to breathe calmly and evenly will have long-term fun and success with their freestyle swimming.

Each lesson is 45 minutes.
