Everything you need to know about starting swimming lessons

Learning to swim well is essential for your child's safety and enjoyment. But where do you start? We provide you with the most important information.

When to start swimming lessons?

Most children in the Netherlands start swimming lessons when they are between 4 and 5 years old. They are then motorically strong enough and can follow instructions well.

The importance of the Zwem-ABC

The national Zwem-ABC is the standard for swimming safety. With diplomas A and B, your child can manage in a swimming pool without attractions. Only with the C-diploma is a child truly 'swim safe' and prepared for unexpected situations in open water.

Which lesson method suits my child?

From regular weekly lessons to a fast-track turbo course during holidays, and from private lessons for extra attention to special lessons for children with aquaphobia; there is a suitable method for every child. On our city pages, you will find exactly which options are available near you.
