In Germany, over three million youths and adults cannot swim. In Leipzig, Xia Zhang, among many others, is learning to swim through one of the scarce adult swimming courses available. She attends weekly sessions at the university swimming pool, overcoming her long-standing fear and lack of swimming skills. The courses aim to help adults who missed out on learning to swim as children to gain confidence and proficiency in the water. This initiative addresses the significant number of German residents who remain non-swimmers, providing a supportive environment to conquer fears and build essential swimming abilities.
