About us
Quality and swimming fun since 2002
The swimming school Schildkrötli Swimmers GmbH was founded in May 2002 by Jeannette Kehl (owner and course instructor).
In 2008, the swimming school Schildkrötli Swimmers GmbH received the highest quality award (certification) “aQuality”; In 2018, the swimming school was certified with the QualiCert award for our Aquafit courses.
These certificates confirm that the swimming school Schildkrötli Swimmers GmbH fulfills the high quality requirements.
The aQuality label is issued by the following associations:
- Swimsports Switzerland
- Swiss Swimming Federation (SSCHV)
- Swiss Lifesaving Association (SLRG)
- Youth and sports (J+S)
Despite the success and the many awards, one thing has remained the same: Every course instructor always looks forward to seeing the children’s expectant eyes. Time and time again, we enjoy bringing water closer to the children in a playful way.
With our course locations we pay attention to:
- Excellent water quality
- Good infrastructure so that our course participants also feel comfortable
- Impeccable hygiene conditions in and around the pool
- Separate lanes / areas specially reserved for us
- The health of our course participants and course instructors is always our top priority
