Exercise courses
Swimming, skiing and skating schools offer children the joy of learning and the experience of success.
The swimming school includes floats, slides, diving, kicks and basic swimming. Swimming schools are for people, who have no swimming skills or can swim a few metres.
The Ski School gives children aged 5–10 the chance to learn the secrets of skiing at their own level. Participants do not have to be residents of Turku.
The skating school gives children the chance to learn the basics of skating and hone their skating skills under the guidance of instructors. The courses are aimed at children under school age (3–6 years) and of primary school age (7–13 years).
Activities in schools
Pupils in basic education, grades 1–9, can participate in various free hobby groups and clubs during the school day.
The types of hobbies vary from school to school. They are selected on the basis of surveys of children and young people and the wishes of the schools.
In the SchoolPT activity you'll develop your skills with a professional coach and learn how to train smartly in the gym.
Outreach activities
The aim of the outreach activities is to help every young person in Turku to find a meaningful hobby for themselves.
