Swimming in Haarlem

Swimming in Haarlem: 152 classes at 10 pools, clubs and swim schools. Most of them are on Monday and Wednesday, and 43 start at 17:00 or later, nicely after school. Ages run from babies to 99, so there is something for the little ones as well as for older children, and 10 classes welcome grown-ups too. Prices are written in different ways: in the middle of the range about €57.95 a month, and at other places about €227.50 a quarter — so compare what one term covers.

A free trial lesson is normal here: 38 classes offer one, so your child can try before you decide. Not every school writes everything down: 87 don’t give an age and 42 don’t give a time. We say so on the card instead of guessing. Every line comes from the school’s own page, with the date we last checked it. Pick two that fit your week and go and have a look.
