“Schwimm Kultur” Integration-promoting swim courses for non-swimmers
Have you always wanted to learn to swim, need a balance to your stressful student life and want to meet new people? Then the swimming courses for non-swimmers organised by OVGU's ‘Schwimm Kultur’ project are just the right programme for you!
Our motto is: learn to swim, stay connected, feel good, be home.
Accordingly, we not only teach you the basics of swimming, but also support you in settling in and feeling at home at the university and in Magdeburg. We offer you a community with which you can engage in swimming training, our workshops, and events.
Through our WhatsApp group, we keep you up to date on event dates, provide you with exciting additional information about learning to swim, and offer you a point of contact for questions about your time with us and at OVGU. We do our best to include you in a great network and give you the opportunity to make new friends while learning a great life skill.
Accompanied by a passionate team of two trainers you will learn in the weekly swim lessons all basics you need to become a confident swimmer in future, like:
- Breaststroke (chest and back position)
- foot jump into the water
- basics of drifting and diving
- breathing while swimming
- right body position in water
Swimming as a sport not only improves the fitness, but also mental health and general well-being. The courses are therefore all about learning the joy of movement in the water so that you can not only swim but also have fun in the water. And if you wish, you can prove your progress in an official swimming test and receive the seahorse badge.
You can find more information about our project and insights into past swim training sessions on our Instagram channel. Simply follow the QR code and take a look.
