We teach approximately 600 students first the techniques of getting used to water and standing on water. We provide training for staying in the water according to age groups between 4-18 and the educational status of each student. In this regard, our children are obliged to come at least for two days.’ Zorlu, stating that the training is provided by 6 instructors and 3 lifeguards, said, ‘Our lifeguards always stand by the pool and students, ensuring the safety of the children.

As we said, our children are safe, and we continue our training in this way.
