Get Splashing: Lower Saxony Bucks Up for Swimming Lessons
Financial commitment towards acquiring swimming proficiency - Nation allocating funds for swimming training programs.
Sick of flailing about in the shallow end? The Lower Saxony state government's got your back, with a cool million euros earmarked for swimming lessons. That's right, you read it right! A staggering 25 million euros are available to transform sports facilities, with pools for schools on the fast-track for a facelift, as per the Ministry of the Interior's Haul in Hannover.
"We're aiming to get all little ripples learning to swim faster than a torpedo!" beamed Interior Minister Daniela Behrens (SPD). With hangout spots like these, we won't even mind the water in our ears.
Got a brilliant plan for a splash-tacular sports facility? You've still got time to make a splash! Submissions need to be in by the end of June.
Here's the deets: 20 million euros of the program is designed for municipal sports facilities, while 5 million euros will go to the state sports association, funneled to clubs near you. The deadline for application submissions? Once more, June 30.
In most cases, the state splits the costs 60:40, with a maximum contribution of 1.5 million euros per facility. However, financially weaker municipalities might be in luck, as they could qualify for a whopping 80% share, up to 3 million euros.
When deciding which projects to fund, the following factors shine bright: age focus, energy efficiency, barrier-free access, sports facility usage, and regional distribution. Ain't fair for everyone to have all the fun, right?
So, dive in, jot down those plans, and start swimming towards a brighter swimming future! And if you're scratching your head, wondering how to get your hands on those sweet, sweet grant moolah, don't fret.
