ABC Swimming Lessons

ABC Swimming Lessons

Swimming lessons at the Futen are, in addition to obtaining the ABC diplomas, mainly aimed at having fun in swimming. The diplomas lay the foundation for basic survival in the water and the basic swimming technique. And of course, after the swimming lessons, we offer a good opportunity to continue with swimfun, beginner competition swimming and water polo.

Teaching method Zwemmaatjes

Swimming buddies also gives according to the NPZ/NRZ method. This means that you have obtained an official nationally valid diploma. The groups consist of about 8 children for the level 1,2 and 3 groups and 10-12 for the A,B and C Diploma groups. This allows us to keep a good eye on the development of each child and this ensures a high swimming efficiency.

During the lessons there are four levels. At the transition to the next level, the children receive an intermediate diploma before they can obtain the A diploma:

Level Location
Kikkerdiploma
Bath 1-2
Vissendiploma
Bath 2-3
Dolfijnendiploma
Bath 3-4 (To get the A diploma)

After obtaining the A diploma, you can continue with your B and C diploma.

Monitor your child's progress

The swimming development of the student is tracked in the learning tracking system ZWEMSCORE. As a parent you will receive a login for this.

ZWEMSCORE gives a clear picture of the pace of learning. Regular checks are made to ensure that students do not take too long to complete a level. If necessary, a meeting will be held with the parents/carers. Together we will look at and determine what is feasible for the parents/carers and for Zwemmaatjes/De Futen. The progress will be updated monthly.
