Requirements of swimming badge

other badges: In addition there are more swimming badges inside and outside of DSV. Beneath this are e.g. the German Swimming Badges in Bronze, Silver or Gold. The requirements are similar with the Youth Swimming Badges. The Bronze and Silver badges can be made by us. All others must be made somewhere else.

In all of our swimming courses and therapy groups can acquire the common swimming badges of German Swimming Union, Deutsch Schwimmverband (DSV). It’s not possible to make an acceptance test in every pool. For a better overview, we make a summary for the requirements for swimming badges.
