Overview

  • The swim container, funded by local firms Richter Steuerungstechnik and W.E.T., has been delivered to Kasendorf's primary school.
  • Lessons for the 'Seepferdchen' swim badge will start on April 28, aiming to improve swimming proficiency among students by summer.
  • A pre-Christmas survey revealed that 50% of the school's 100 students could not swim or had poor swimming skills, prompting the initiative.
  • The DLRG has endorsed the container for basic swim training but emphasized the need to clarify maintenance and operational responsibilities.
  • This project aligns with a nationwide push for mobile swimming infrastructure, supported by federal funding to address the shortage of accessible pools.
