For the 2023/2024 school year, merely 24% of third-graders didn't own a bronze swimming badge or the beginner's "seahorse" badge, as disclosed by the Senate in response to the Left party's inquiry. In contrast, previous years saw a whopping 25% and 36% of students in this category. These numbers, though, do hold some limitations, as they only indicate non-swimmers based on the absence of a badge, irrespective of swimming skills. In the most recent school year, 28,585 third-graders took swimming lessons at school.
However, there's a wide gap between the swimming badge attainment rates across districts. The highest proportions of students without a badge were found in Lichtenberg (34.8%), Neukölln (34.7%), Spandau (30.6%), and Mitte (29.9%). During the 2020/2021 school year, numbers even exceeded 50% in some districts.
On the brighter side, districts like Steglitz-Zehlendorf (11.0%), Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf (15.8%), and Pankow (18.7%) flaunt lesser percentages of non-swimmers.
Good news for the Left party: the Senate admitted it did not record the migration background, economic, or social status of families in this context. But don't worry, they offer free intensive swimming courses for non-swimmers during school breaks—practice makes perfect!
