How it works
How a course works with us
The Seepferdchen badge means your child can stay above water – it does not yet mean they are a confident swimmer. That is exactly where this course starts. Wobbly first strokes become clean technique that carries your child through longer distances and deep water.
- 1
Finding the starting point
Natalie first looks at how your child swims today: body position, breathing, leg kick. That determines what we work on first.
- 2
Refining technique
In short exercise blocks each stroke is built up separately – breaststroke, backstroke and the introduction to front crawl. First the movement, then the breathing, then both together.
- 3
Stamina and deep water
Distances get longer step by step. Added to that are jumps, diving for objects and confidence in the deep end.

Badges in sight
Anyone who wants to can work specifically towards Bronze, Silver and Gold. We go through the requirements together beforehand so your child knows exactly what to expect.
Children here learn not only to swim faster but also to judge themselves: how long can I keep going? When should I turn back? That is the difference between „can swim“ and „is safe in the water“.
