About
Berlin's public pool operator runs this learn-to-swim course for beginners. Kids start with water confidence (breathing, diving, floating, gliding, jumping), then learn the kick, the arm stroke and finally the full stroke, aiming to pass the Seepferdchen badge at the end. Parents stay out of the pool hall, so it suits kids ready to follow a teacher on their own.
