Swimming

Swimming

Swimming is one of the five activities within the programme Swimming is cool from Alkmaar Sport. With Swim is cool, pupils discover how versatile and fun moving in the water can be. Each activity has its own goal and approach, but together they form one complete and playful physical activity programme for schools.

Try out different swimming sports

During the Swimming Sports theme, children are introduced to the basic principles of various swimming sports in a playful and challenging way. They get a first impression of disciplines such as competitive swimming, water polo and synchronised swimming. The lessons are provided by experienced coaches from swimming club DAW, allowing pupils to experience the sport exactly as it is truly practised.

Discover hidden swimming talents in the classroom

In a short space of time, the children learn how the various sports work and what techniques are involved. The programme concludes with a small competition or a playful finale, allowing pupils to show what they have learned. What is more, the activity can be combined with other parts of Swim is cool if schools so wish. Who knows, there might just be a new swimming talent hiding in your class during this theme!
