About Watervrienden Groningen
The Groningen swimming and recreational sports association "De Watervrienden" is an association whose aim is to promote public health through competitive swimming, the art of swimming, and recreational sports in the broadest sense of the word. De Watervrienden is an association. This means that all work is done by members on a 100% voluntary basis. Together we form the club. We therefore speak of "our club." The association stands or falls with the availability of enthusiastic volunteers, who each help out in their own way and make the association what it is. At "De Watervrienden," elementary swimming occupies a central place. Teaching children from the age of 4 to swim and training for swimming proficiency diplomas are our main activities. In addition, the recreational aspect is also important. The lessons take place in a playful atmosphere, where the sports experience and enjoyment of the sport are at least as important as swimming performance.
