Delphin offers courses for all ages at different levels of aptitude and training. Both men and women profit from the special qualities of water, such as buoyancy, resistance and pressure. Some do a proper workout to achieve a higher level of fitness and strength; others practice therapeutically for postoperative deficiencies, back/joint problems or weight problems. Everyone enjoys the intimacy of a private pool and relaxing in the warm water (32º).

Uwe Legahn founded Delphin in 1977, and the school has grown from teaching four to five classes a week in various hotel pools to running five of its own pools in and around Hamburg. All instructors must have top credentials. In 1992 Delphin joined the National Swim School Association, United States Water Fitness Association and World Aquatic Babies Conference as the only German swimming school member then and even today. It is a founding member of the German Swim School Association (Bundesverband für AquaPädagogik or BvAP). Instructors of baby swimming, learn-to-swim and aqua fitness programs from all over Germany and parts of Europe are trained at the associated Delphin Akademie für Aquapädagogik.

A swimming instructor for almost 40 years, Mr. Legahn has written a comprehensive book on children’s swimming from young babies to competitive swimmers: a guideline for parents and teachers alike. He is a sought-after speaker and workshop leader in Argentina, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, and the U.S.
