Come into contact with water. And as early as possible. Soon after birth, in fact. This is the aim of our swimming courses for babies and toddlers, which we have been offering for ten years now. The courses are part of our mission to provide young families with a comprehensive range of courses before and after birth. Our lessons are individually tailored to the age and abilities of the children.
Come into contact with water. And as early as possible. Soon after birth, in fact. This is the aim of our swimming courses for babies and toddlers, which we have been offering for ten years now.

Our well-attended swimming courses are not only fun for babies and toddlers, they also familiarise them with the elixir of life.
Together with their father or mother, they discover water as a playful element. That's what it's all about at first. From the tender age of five months up to the age of four. Only then do they discover the basics of swimming and, a little later, the different types of swimming.
«The more frequent and consistent the water contact is and the earlier it is started, the easier it is to learn to swim.»
There are various reasons why these courses are offered from 5 months and not at an earlier stage: By then, babies already have sufficient subcutaneous fat, can support their own head for longer periods of time, have a sufficiently functioning immune system and have already formed a bond with their caregiver. "The more frequent and consistent the water contact is and the earlier it is started, the easier it is to learn to swim," says Claudia Trefzer, a qualified baby and toddler swimming instructor who set up the courses at Bethesda Hospital together with Andrea Reust-Gasser.
The swimming courses also have other important functions: They intensify bonding, promote body awareness and a sense of balance and strengthen motor development. Warm water also has a relaxing effect. It relieves stomach cramps and contributes to a deep, peaceful sleep. The courses also make it easier to handle water when washing hair or bathing at home, for example.
