frequently asked questions
Good to know for parents
My child is always cold. What can I do?
The water in most indoor pools is between 26 and 28 degrees; water in outdoor pools, lakes or the sea can be considerably colder. This is hard on many children, especially when wind is added. A simple option is special wetsuits for children. You'll find some examples in our article.
My child doesn't master the basics yet.
That's of course no problem at all. In this case, we recommend learning the exercises for 5- to 7-year-olds first. If your child has no water experience at all, you're welcome to look at the exercises for 4-year-olds.
