Pestalozzi school teaching pools in Hartha must close!

Hartha, Deutschland - What's going on in Hartha? The city administration has decided to close the Pestalozzi School's teaching pool, and this is anything but a reason to be happy. The pelvis, which has existed since the 1960s and is in the basement of the school, was an important place for students for a long time to learn the basics of swimming. But now it is time for a thorough review that has become necessary through technical and structural defects, as the responsible city councils say. Mayor Ronald Kunze has announced that it will check the economy of continued operation and thinks about possible investments in order to comply with the legal provisions. These could then be planned in the household for 2026/27, so [Sächsische.de] (https://www.saechsische.de/lokales/mittelsachsen/hartha/ Lehrschwimmbecken-in-der-pestalozzischule-in-hartha-muss-gewerden-bolg5GGGERG2HKFQRJXF2JGH4.html).

The swimming lessons carried out in the pool took place once a week to bring the children to the basic movements of swimming. In addition, there were even baby swimming that was offered four times a week. The pool was also used for rehabilitation sports. The only bright spot: The courses that have already started can be carried out until the end, while the Harthaer and Gersdorf elementary school students have to learn to swim during the closure in the outdoor pool of Geringswalde or quietly.

Security in the water - a permanent favorite

teaching pool like that in Hartha are often the first points of contact for children who learn swimming in school sports. Such basins offer the advantage that they are safer than non -swimmer pools with a transition to swimmer pools. The maximum water depth in teaching and non-swimmer basins is 1.35 m, which guarantees a certain level of security for teaching with non-shimmering, such as secure school.de. However, it is essential to mark these pools well, so that parents and children know where the deep areas are.

The right training in swimming skills is more relevant than ever these days. After transferring to secondary schools, many children often cannot swim safely, which increases the risk of swimming accidents. Swimming lessons should thus convey the basic skills such as breathing, diving and gliding in a safe environment. It is important that the students also develop an understanding of bathing and conduct rules to protect themselves and others in the water, as on dguv-lug.de.

The future of teaching swimming pool

whether and when the teaching pool of the Pestalozzi school can be reopened is still in the stars. Hartha's head of the head Antje Winkler has talks with those responsible to plan the next steps. In the meantime, the children who want to learn to swim have the opportunity to switch to the outdoor pools in the area. It can be hoped that both the security standards will increase in the future and that children will be promoted in the region.
