Swimming in Leiden

Swimming in Leiden: 84 classes at 11 pools, clubs and swim schools. Most of them are on Saturday and Sunday, and 24 start at 17:00 or later, nicely after school. The weekend is busy here too, with 32 classes on Saturday or Sunday. Ages run from 3.5 to 18, so there is something for the little ones as well as for older children.

Prices are written in different ways: in the middle of the range about €34 a lesson, and at other places about €225 for a whole course — so compare what one term covers. A free trial lesson is normal here: 26 classes offer one, so your child can try before you decide. Not every school writes everything down: 45 don’t give an age and 26 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.
