Your kids can earn a swimming certificate there! The first one is called “Seepferdchen” (sea-horse) and requires that your child passes a basic swimming test: 50 meters swimming, jumping into the water, and diving to pick up an object. There are also more advanced swimming tests (e.g., “Freischwimmer”) available. Testing is inexpensive and can be done without an appointment. Just ask the lifeguard in charge. When your kids pass the test, they will get a little sticker and certificate. Nice souvenir!
