Dear parents and swimming members,
As the end of the year approaches, we would like to share the latest updates with you. Please especially read the message about the adjusted group allocation. This may mean that your child will be swimming at a different time starting from January 2024.
No lessons this coming Saturday, December 16!
On Saturday, December 16, there will be a life-saving and swimming rescuer diploma test. This means that there will be no swimming lessons for all other students.
Parents swim along on December 23
On December 23, we are going to do things completely differently! Every Saturday, the children are in the pool, and the parents are in the stands. But on December 23, we invite all parents to join a lesson. One parent per child. So bring your swimsuit or swim trunks and join in!
Increase in annual membership fee
Starting January 1, 2024, the annual membership fee will be increased to €45. You don't need to make any changes to your bank details yourself. The amount will be automatically debited at the end of the year.
Diploma swimming NRZ A and B
On Saturday, December 9, the diploma tests took place. A total of 13 children achieved their NRZ A diploma, and 12 children passed their NRZ B diploma.
Congratulations to all!
Diploma swimming for NRZ C
The observant viewer may have already noticed: there is no date set for the NRZ C diploma test. That's correct, it is not scheduled at this time. What we can tell you is that it will take place before the summer vacation.
