We teach adult immigrants to swim from absolute 0. Often they come to us with fear or shame, because they think they are "too old". To be able to swim is basic skill in Sweden because of being surrounded by water. This skill is proved by Swedish school system, so when people immigrate , they are already "out of the system". These immigrants our target group. We provide integration and safety.

Stockholm International Swimming Club’s mission is to teach adults swimming. We teach people with international background who never had been living next to the water, never been able to learn swimming as kids or who had phobias and now feel strong enough to come to our classes and get over it. We teach them, for whom swimming is not just a sport to enjoy in their free time, it is the knowledge that will save life for them and maybe for their kids.
