Overview
- Around 50% of Kasendorf primary school students lack basic swimming skills, prompting the initiative for on-site lessons.
- The mobile swimming container, installed directly at the school, eliminates the need for long bus rides to distant pools in Kulmbach.
- Local companies Richter Steuerungstechnik and W.E.T. financed the container and hired a swimming instructor for the program.
- The lessons, conducted in small groups, are designed to prepare students for the Seepferdchen swimming certification test at Thurnau's outdoor pool this summer.
- The DLRG has approved the container for Seepferdchen training but emphasizes the need for clear agreements on maintenance and water management responsibilities.
