Free swimming courses for children at Waidsee: Register now!
The city of Weinheim today gave the starting signal for free swimming courses for children at Waidsee. This good news is timely, as more and more parents are looking for ways to teach their little ones important swimming skills. How wnoz.de reports, the courses will take place on several dates in August and September, and the city is pleased to have already received numerous registrations.
Overall, the swimming lessons are designed for children aged six to ten and are intended not only to teach the participating children how to swim, but also to raise their awareness of how to use water safely. The focus is on aqua-educational approaches to take away children's fear of water.
An important offer for the safety of children
The initiative is not only a fun leisure activity, but also addresses the risk of drowning caused by accidents, which is particularly high among children. Parents can register now by filling out the appropriate form on the city of Weinheim website. However, places are limited, which means you need to be quick!
There is now also a lot of discussion on the Internet, especially about data protection when tracking user data. A topic that is particularly important for families. Cookie banners for data security are now ubiquitous wbs.legal determines. These banners are intended to inform users of their rights and offer them the opportunity to give or reject their consent to the use of cookies. Warnings due to incorrect banners are common because many operators often do not offer the necessary freedom of choice.
With the hope of clear legal regulations in the area of cookies, it is good to know that data protection regulations also apply to offers for children. In Germany, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) particularly protects the data of minors. How datenschutzexperte.de reported, providers require parental consent if the child is under 16 years old. Of course, this also applies to swimming courses, where additional data protection aspects must be taken into account.
The city of Weinheim has certainly shown a good hand for this program, and it remains to be seen how many families will take advantage of the opportunity to enroll their children in the courses. With a wide range of offerings and a focus on safety, the swimming courses are a step in the right direction.
