Free Swim School for all Refugee Children - Summer 2022

Simskolan Små Grodorna (Little Frogs’ Swim School) offers free swim courses to all children who has been forced to flee their home countries to Sweden (within the last 2 years) and all children suffering from cancer.

Each course is one week long (Monday to Friday) in the summer and are held outdoors, on beaches of lakes and the sea. Classes are given from 20th of June to 12th of august. Each lesson is 30-40 minutes long. Most of the children are 4- 8 years old.

Små Grodorna teaches through play and wants the children to have as much fun as possible during their swim week and that they feel safe. All activities are voluntary so if a child is nervous or afraid of an activity they can watch and join again for the next one.

Our web site, SimskolanSmaGrodorna.se, is in Swedish only unfortunately but we have some information in English and in Ukranian.

Below you will find information about our levels and how to book your free course.

All our swim teachers are experienced in the profession and/or in other pedagogical professions such as school teachers or kindergarten teachers. They have all proven that they have no criminal record. They have education as swim teachers and in beach safety. Parents sit on the beach and can watch the full lesson. Welcome to join us this summer!

Små Grodorna håller intensivkurser i simning för barn utomhus vid stränder under sommaren.

Syftet är säkra barn

Simskolans syfte är att barnen ska bli säkra i och kring vatten – barnen får lära sig vattenvana, att simma och om säkerhet.

Simskola ska vara kul

Vi gör simundervisning så rolig som möjligt för barnen, med lekar och sagor. Våra pedagogiska lekar hjälper också barnen att komma över sina rädslor för vatten.

Vi vill att barnen ska längta till nästa simlektion och för många barn blir simskolan det bästa på hela sommarlovet.

Barnen utvecklas i sommarsimskolan

Barnen lär sig simma och förbättrar sin motorik. De blir vana vid vattnet. De blir modigare. De lär sig att kämpa för att klara sina mål. De får ta simmärken. Och de får träffa nya kompisar.
