Cooperation with the City of Espoo
Cetus Espoo ry organises a wide range of swimming courses and instructor-led activities in partnership with the City of Espoo. For example, all swimming lessons held in teaching pools on weekday evenings are subsidised by the City of Espoo and are therefore slightly more affordable than equivalent weekend courses. Other activities organised in cooperation with the City of Espoo include WAU after-school clubs, recreational swimming for pupils in grades 5–9 (Jumppi Swimming) on Wednesdays, monthly Vesitöpinät water activity sessions, holiday activities during the autumn and spring seasons, and introductory swimming sessions for children starting first grade in the summer. The cooperation also includes Wau after-school clubs, swimming sessions for grades 5–9 on Wednesdays, monthly water play events, holiday activities during the autumn and spring terms, adaptive swimming groups, and summer swimming try-outs for children starting first grade.
During the autumn and spring seasons, we organise 2-hour Water Play Events at the Central Espoo Swimming Hall in cooperation with the City of Espoo Sports Services. The events are aimed at families with children aged 2–8 years.
Two Cetus instructors will be present and available to give swimming-related tips. However, these sessions are not formal swimming lessons. Families are free to use pool toys and equipment and to move around the teaching pool at their own pace.
Participation is possible with a valid swimming hall entrance fee.
Water Play Events on Sundays at the Central Espoo Swimming Hall from 11:00 to 13:00
The Vesitöpinät dates are available on the Finnish-language page.
