Many of Bremen's swimming pools offer special courses and programmes for little swimmers and those who want to become swimmers. Here you can get an overview.
Movement in the water is not only fun, good swimming skills can even be essential for survival. In addition, coordination skills are promoted and important muscle regions are trained.
Baby swimming is a playful way for parents and their babies to discover the fun of movement in warm water, which is particularly important for motor and emotional development. Posture and breathing are also positively influenced.
Babies from about 3 months can take part.
Here, 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 year old children can learn their first balance and gymnastic exercises in the water together with their parents in order to promote muscular development.
From the age of 2 1/2 years, there is more playing and romping. The first swimming exercises are also slowly tried out.
These Bremen facilities specialise in baby and toddler swimming courses:
