About this care
Welcome to Zwembso Badweg, our unique after-school care located right next to Bad Hesselingen swimming pool in Meppel. We provide care for 40 children aged 4 to 12 in an environment focused on movement and discovery.
Our location is literally boundless. Children can use the complete recreational pool, with swimming lessons even possible during after-school care time. Our pedagogical staff swim along and keep a watchful eye, so children without swimming diplomas can safely enjoy the water.
Besides swimming, we offer a huge playground with bouncy castle, zip line, football and volleyball fields. We build huts in nature and organize sports and games activities. In our cozy after-school house on the playground of Bad Hesselingen, we stimulate creative activities and cooperative play. With our demolition after-school program, children investigate devices from the inside together - exciting and educational!
We work thematically and involve children in everything we do. Together we choose fun themes, eat and drink together at the table, and especially have lots of fun. We are here for happy children and smiling faces.
Our opening hours are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 14:00 to 18:15. We are closed on Wednesday and Friday due to too few registrations, but we are happy to look at possibilities for special needs.Read more
