Delfinen offers a variety of classes in swimming, baby swimming and life saving. Our vision is to offer enjoyment and safety in the water - "Glede og trygghet i vannet" . Our courses follow the principles of gentle approach, focusing on each baby's (and parents') feelings of trust, safety and joy.

Each course follows a structured plan with a specific topic for every class, like self saving and motoric development. We use songs, small games and have a lot of social interaction and fun. We also give an introduction to lifesaving and CPR for babies to the parents. To make our courses an all-family-activity, we allow two adults in the water with each baby.

 

We offer the following courses in English:

Babyswimming beginners: Basic and gentle adaptation to water, build confidence and enjoyment. Training of basic skills of both parents and child. We also build on social interaction between parents and child, as well as other course participants. Bottom line: we have a lot of fun and fine moments in the water!

MIX 1-5 yrs - Babyswimming intermediate and Small children swimming: We continue to develop the feelings of safety and enjoyment in water, based on the skills from the beginners course, always adjusted to each child's development and own will. Also suitable for beginners from 1 year of age. This English course is a mixed course babyswimming intermediate and small children swimming, sutiable for ages from 1 to 5 years.

First Aid for saving children: English adapted version of the newest course from the Norwegian First Aid Council, that in 4 hours cover the basic skills needed of saving children and babies. The course is arranged on ad hoc basis according to enrollment, with a minimum of 6- 8 participants.

Safety in water 

Along with the joy in water, Delfinen puts safety first. Therefore we train you to become safer swimmers and parents. All our course participants, parents and older children on our courses are trained in basic life saving skills in the pool, as well as given an introduction course in CPR and First Aid. This teaches you to become more aware of the dangers that may occur in water, as well as trains you to handle such situations efficiently with a best possible outcome.

To ensure the best possible safety for you and your child during our courses in water, all our instructors are also approved instructors in CPR and First Aid. Of course, all our instructors are trained life guards with approved life saving tests at minimum once a year.
