Fitness swimming involves swimming laps, but with a bit more guidance. In the Level 1 training session, you’ll be given exercises to improve your technique and fitness. At Level 2, you’ll focus more on your fitness.
Please note: At the Marnix, you’ll need a compulsory access wristband. This costs €10.
Please note! To join a swimming training or take a SPONS swimming course, you must have at least an A and B certificate. Or you are able to swim 50 meters of breaststroke in one go.
If this is not the case, the instructors may ask you to leave the pool for safety reasons.
Would you like to improve your stroke technique? Join the 9-week stroke training course run by A.S.Z.V. SPONS at the Marnix. As well as arm, leg and breathing techniques, you’ll practise plenty of starts and turns. Visit aszvspons.nl/zwemcursus, where you can also sign up.
A.S.Z.V. SPONS is Amsterdam’s leading student swimming club. They have their own training sessions at the Marnix and Sportfondsenbad Oost. Fancy finding out more? Visit aszvspons.nl.
