About Hanneke

Geboren Zwemmers (Born Swimmers) teaches your infant water survival skills in weeks of time! In these private only swim lessons your child will learn how to roll on his back and float in deep water for an indefinite amount of time, fully clothed and in swimwear. When your child is walking, I will teach him or her to swim-float-swim. With these aquatic swim skills your child is able to swim to you, to the side of the pool or the stairs and get out of the water.

If your child is not able to reach the pool side, he will roll on his back and float untill he is rescued!!

This program is based on 40 years of experience in teaching infants and toddlers motor skills, resulting in your child having a better chance of surviving an accidental encounter with the water. Are you taking control of the motor skills of your baby?

Hanneke Deen- van Tol started her survival swim school Geboren Zwemmers in 2014 in Nijmegen area.

"I am determined and dedicated to helping children have the confidence and the tools they will need to develop a love for swimming.

I wholeheartedly believe this program can save lives of the children in our community.

"Please feel free to call or message me anytime with questions, I would love to hear from you."


Hanneke Deen- van Tol is also an Emergency First Response (EFR) Instructor, teaching adults what to do if an infant, or a child up to 8 years old, is in need of CPR or primary care.
