Alkeet 1

Swimming is introduced through joy and play. Children practise submerging, jumping, gliding and floating with the help of swimming aids.

Skill requirement: No previous swimming experience is required, but the child should be comfortable participating in a group. Separate groups are available for children aged 3–4, 5–6 and 7–12.

Please note — These children’s swimming lessons are taught in Finnish.

The goal of this swim class is for the child to become comfortable getting their face wet. Once that feels natural, they can continue to level Alkeet 2.

Each session lasts 30 minutes, including time for putting on swim vests if needed, brief updates with parents, and the handing out of diplomas.
