SPRINGBRETT FOR SWIMMING FUN

Background for the offer:

Unfortunately, many young people have poor swimming skills and little knowledge of lifesaving in water. Some have started school late in the school term, and have lost the opportunity to take part in swimming lessons, some have not been given the opportunity to use their free time for bathing and swimming pleasure.

Many people acquire swimming skills in warmer climates on family holidays. Not everyone has this opportunity.

​

Many young people have had bad experiences with water. Some young people panic when they find they cannot stay afloat themselves. In Norway, it is incredibly important to be able to swim. In Bergen alone, in the summer of 2022 we have had two ugly accidents in water, both men with short periods of residence in Norway, one in the fjord at Nordnes Sjøbad, one in the pool in AdO-Arena.

​

Goal:

Through organized swimming courses, as many people as possible should be able to manage alone in a pool and experience the joy of swimming. We will arrange swimming lessons in 3 stages.

​

1. Beginners
