Children's swimming courses are possible from approximately 4-5 years old – depending on their developmental stage and water experience. We assess each child individually to ensure they are ready for group lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions
- At what age can my child participate?
- What does my child need for the course?Please bring:
- Swimwear
- Towel & possibly a bathrobe
- Swimming goggles (optional)
- Hair tie for long hair
- Good mood 😊
- How long does each course last?Our swimming courses typically run for a full semester, with weekly sessions. Each session is 2 hours long, providing ample time for instruction, practice, and skill development.
- How many children are in each group?We work in small groups of approximately 5 children (all beginner groups) to 10 children (from intermediate group onwards – swimmers) depending on the performance level, so that we can respond to each child individually. This ensures enough space for personal feedback and safety.
- Do you offer make-up classes if my child misses a session?We don’t offer make-up classes, as the number of participants per group is limited. It’s important for the children to grow together as a group — frequent changes caused by replacement sessions can disrupt the group’s rhythm and learning atmosphere. We appreciate your understanding.
- Do the courses also take place during the holidays?Yes! During the holidays we regularly offer intensive courses – ideal for making quick progress or consolidating swimming skills. You can find information on our course page. Course operations during the school year always take place on school days.
- What if my child is afraid or doesn't want to participate?That's completely okay – we take every child seriously and meet them where they are. Most of the time, a little time, play, and positive encouragement helps. No pressure, no stress – that's what we're here for.
- Can parents watch the lessons?As a general rule, parents are not in the swimming hall during the course so that the children can concentrate better on the water and the group. However, watching is possible through the large windows from the entrance area at Brigittenauer Bad.
- What swimming levels do you offer?We offer courses for Beginners, Advanced Beginners, Intermediates, and Experts. Each level is carefully structured to build upon previous skills. Check our Swim Courses page for detailed schedules and level descriptions.
