Swimming lessons
Den Helder is surrounded by water, so it is important to learn to swim. Aquacentrum Den Helder provides swimming lessons for the official swimming diplomas A, B, and C to children (from 4 years old) and (young) adults according to the rules of the National Swimming Safety Council. For children, there are two lesson methods to choose from: Traditional and EasySwim. Traditional swimming lessons start in shallow water, while EasySwim starts directly in deep water with the help of a float suit.
Our swimming lesson methods for the Swim-ABC are the basis of good swimming education. It is a complete package that works towards swimming proficiency and safety.
