(Yle) Several public as well as private swimming pools in Finland are taking measures to encourage immigrants, particularly women, to learn how to swim.
The Finnish Swimming Teaching and Lifesaving Federation, an organisation dedicated to improving swimming skills and reducing drowning deaths in Finland, has launched a course aimed at cultivating swimming skills and knowledge among immigrants.
It will be organised by the Raseko Raisio Regional Education and Training Consortium, a partner company of the federation, in Raisio, southwest Finland. The course is part of the “swimming skills for all” project (in Finnish) that has been funded by the Finnish National Agency for Education.
