Network of certificated Neonatal-, Toddler- and Pregnants swimming instructors

As sitting in on lectures/classes is really important for the certification requirements (200 hrs.) as well as for the own teaching/instructing experience, I want to set up an instructors network throughout Germany/(Europe). As a first step I'd like to list all the participants of my previous trainings/courses. Therefore candidates interested in sitting in on lectures/classes can contact a qualified(certificated) instructor nearby directly.

The list entries are ordered by the (german) ZIP-Code! Just follow the so called 'PLZ'- links below:

Important!

All instructors of this list have been qualified in the field of baby or toddler swimming.

Those instructors who have in addition been qualified in the field of swimming for pregnants are marked with "S" .

Those instructors who have been certificated are marked with "Z".

To keep this list up to date, please feel free to email your update or change requests to: l.ahrendt@t-online.de
