About
Simmis (Helsingfors Simsällskap) is a Helsinki swimming club with Star Club status from the Finnish Olympic Committee. Non-swimmers start in a shallow pool learning to float, glide and dive under. From there, kids climb a numbered technique ladder in the big pool, adding all four strokes, flip turns and racing starts. Parent-and-child groups, school-age beginner groups and special-needs groups (with your own assistant in the water) round it out.
