Swimming in Het Gooi

Swimming in Het Gooi: 100 classes at 8 pools, clubs and swim schools. Most of them are on Monday and Friday, and 21 start at 17:00 or later, nicely after school. Ages run from babies to 75, so there is something for the little ones as well as for older children, and 7 classes welcome grown-ups too. Prices are written in different ways: in the middle of the range about €124 for a whole course, and at other places about €76 a month — so compare what one term covers.

A free trial lesson is normal here: 8 classes offer one, so your child can try before you decide. Not every school writes everything down: 31 don’t give an age and 29 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.
