SWIMTRAINER “Classic” VIP
Hello, my name is Leonie Beck and I learned to swim as a 4 year old child in Augsburg at the swimming school FREDS SWIM ACADEMY with Verena Lacher with the SWIMTRAINER “Classic”. The SWIMTRAINERS are great because the kids are in the right swimming position, which makes learning to swim easier.
In the meantime, I have become a successful swimmer and participated in several international championships such as the Summer Olympics and World Championships.
I can highly recommend the FREDS SWIM ACADEMY and the system with the SWIMTRAINER and wish all children success and fun while learning to swim.
Midwife Anne Tschauner recommends the SWIMTRAINER “Classic”

Anne Tschauner has given birth to more than 1500 healthy babies in over 15 years of professional experience.
“As a mother of 2 daughters and as a midwife to many satisfied parents and babies in my practice “Kinderreich”, I can highly recommend the swimming aid SWIMTRAINER “Classic” from FREDS SWIM ACADEMY!” says Anne Tschauner.
It’s a scientific fact: baby swimming promotes mental and physical development. This is because movements are possible in the water that toddlers are not yet capable of on land. “Carefully moving back and forth during baby swimming, for example, acts like a massage for the skin. At the same time, it supports the formation of nerve cells. This also increases the ability to move on land,” explains midwife Tschauner. Water gymnastics is also a playful and effective therapy for children whose motor development is delayed or for premature babies. “The water pressure not only has a positive effect on the skin, but also on the joints and muscles,” says Tschauner. Babies can move independently with the SWIMTRAINER from the age of 12 weeks using the so-called innate “frog reflex”.
“The SWIMTRAINER “Classic” provides plenty of swimming fun from the 12th week of life, combined with a high level of safety.
