Kindergarten Wurzel Purzel: Swimming project inspires Penzinger Kids!
Great things are happening in the “Wurzel Purzel” kindergarten in Penzing: A new swimming project recently started in the Lechtalbad and is exciting not only the children, but also the parents. The aim of the program is to teach the young participants, who are between five and six years old, how to swim front crawl. The approach is very playful and step-by-step, starting with the starfish and dog paddling through to the first arm movements, which the little ones quickly learn. The use of child-friendly aids such as fins supports the first attempts in the water.
As [Merkur](https://www.merkur.de/lokales/landsberg-kreisbote/kraul-modellprojekt-im-penzinger-kindergarten- Wurzel-purzel-begeistert-93772657.html) reports, the children are already showing considerable progress and are swimming increasingly safely through the pool. Some little swimmers can even look forward to receiving the pirate badge, while others hold the coveted bronze badge in their hands. It's not just the children who are proud of their success; The parents and teachers are also delighted and report that the little ones are growing in self-confidence.
A project with exemplary character
The kindergarten director Birgit Geier describes the swimming project as a real showcase project that gives courage. The positive feedback from parents underlines the importance of this experience for the children. Solid swimming training is an essential part of early childhood development, as swimming accidents are common among children. According to a publication by DGUV, safe swimming after primary school is a necessary skill that is not only for fun, but also contributes to safety in and around the water.
The “Safety and Health in and through School Sports” (SuGiS) initiative also aims to get children used to the water at an early stage and to enable them to engage with swimming techniques without fear. Encouraging parents to visit swimming pools regularly should not be underestimated. Getting used to water begins in childhood and is crucial for further development.
This approach is further supported as part of the water rescue holiday program in Penzing. As Wasserwacht Penzing announces, there are other activities on the program that not only give the children fun but also safety in the water. The commitment shown by local initiatives underlines the importance of swimming as a fundamental motor skill.
Conclusion
Overall, the swimming project in the “Wurzel Purzel” kindergarten in Penzing makes it clear how important it is that children come into contact with the element of water at an early age. Through playful approaches and the support of experienced educators, even the youngest children can learn how to use water and become confident in swimming. The project not only has practical benefits, but also promotes children's self-confidence and creates challenges that they take on with joy.
