Swimming facilities - Only a few elementary school without swimming lessons

Compulsory swimming lessons were not held at 16 elementary school in Saxony-Anhalt in the 2022/23 school year. This is according to a response from the state government to a minor question from Left Party member of state parliament Thomas Lippmann. "The reasons given were refurbishment work in the swimming facilities, one privately-run elementary school carries out swimming lessons every two years as planned due to the organization of the learning groups in mixed year groups," it said. 21 independent elementary school did not respond.

There are just under 500 elementary school in the state, around 440 are public and a good 50 are independent.

Small question and answer

  1. Despite the lack of compulsory swimming lessons in 16 elementary schools during the 2022/23 school year in Saxony-Anhalt, it's crucial to prioritize swimming education in other schools to ensure children learn essential water safety skills.
  2. Interested in improving swimming lessons in public schools, Thomas Lippmann, a Left Party member of state parliament, posed a question to the Saxony-Anhalt government, revealing that 16 schools without swimming facilities delayed lessons due to refurbishment or organizational reasons.
  3. Swimming lessons are an integral part of a well-rounded education, and it's sad to see that some elementary schools in Saxony-Anhalt, like those in the state of Brandenburg and others across Germany, don't offer swim instruction, potentially depriving children of vital skills.
