Swimming Courses for Children in Ingolstadt, 2025
In 2025, the Ingolstadt Water Rescue (Deine Wassermäuse) is offering swimming courses for children aged six and up. These courses, held under the motto "Ingolstadt Swims - Learn to Swim Too!", aim to teach children basic swimming skills and water safety.
The courses are designed for children with no or limited swimming experience, and there are two courses available: BASIS Schwimmkurs and AUFBAU Schwimmkurs. The BASIS Schwimmkurs is for children who have not yet learned to swim, providing foundational swimming skills. The AUFBAU Schwimmkurs is a continuation of the BASIS course, helping children improve their swimming abilities.
The courses will take place at the Ingolstadt Sports Pool (Jahnstraße 5a). The exact dates for the courses in the summer holidays of 2025 are not specified, but the first course is scheduled from September 1 to 13, 2025, from 10:00 to 11:00, with a second course running concurrently from 11:00 to 12:00. Each course consists of ten sessions.
Registration for the courses can be done via the Ingolstadt Water Rescue's website (www.wasserwacht-ingolstadt.de). To register, parents need to ensure their child meets the age and skill level requirements for each course, provide any necessary health information or medical certificates if required, and contact Deine Wassermäuse directly to reserve a spot. Details on course fees are typically available upon contacting the organization.
It's important to note that the number of participants per course is limited to ensure individual attention, and the courses will only take place if a minimum of four children register.
For more up-to-date information, it's advisable to visit the Deine Wassermäuse website or contact them directly for specific details on registration deadlines and course availability. The courses are being offered in cooperation with the City of Ingolstadt, and their aim is to provide children with essential swimming skills and water safety knowledge. The participation fee for the courses is 120.00 Euro.
Additionally, there are other locations offering these courses, including the Aquamarin in Gaimersheim and the Christoph-Kolumbus-Grundschule in Ingolstadt Nord, which provide BASIS and AUFBAU courses, and the Sportbad in Ingolstadt Süd, which also offers BASIS and AUFBAU courses.
For infants and toddlers, there are Babyschwimmen I & II courses focusing on basic water adaptation and fun in the water, and Kleinkinderschwimmen courses suitable for small children, which aim to develop basic swimming skills while ensuring children feel comfortable in the water.
