In Bremen, rising demand for swim lessons highlights the struggle for parents as one in five children aged six to ten cannot swim. Despite the availability of 925 courses in 2024, many were canceled due to low enrollment, as families face barriers such as inconvenient locations and scheduling conflicts. With a shortage of public pools and qualified instructors, the lack of school-based swim education exacerbates the issue, leaving parents to seek alternative methods to teach their children to swim. Experts recommend at-home water practice to bridge the gap until formal classes can be accessed.
