Swimming

 

Our swimming department has been in existence since 1934 and trains in cooperation with SG Enkheim in the Riedbad in Enkheim.
The individual lessons are organized in courses, which always take place between two school vacations. There is no training during the school vacations. An additional fee is charged for each course, which is conveniently collected by direct debit.
Membership of one of the two clubs is mandatory for participation in a swimming course.

We teach children of all ages to swim and accompany them - if they wish - up to the golden swimming badge. Adults can also swim with us under supervision.
