Hey there! Here's some exciting news about swimming lessons in Lower Saxony. The state government's got a million-euro promotion up their sleeve, and it's all going towards revamping sports facilities across the region, according to the Ministry of the Interior in Hannover.
Daniela Behrens, the Interior Minister (SPD), reckons it's about getting all the little ones comfortable in the water as soon as possible. Aiming to make sports facilities not just for a great workout, but social hangouts too.
So, what's the deal? You've got until the end of June to whip up an application for those bath and pool renovations, especially those meant for swimming lessons.
Half of the program's budget, 20 million euros, is earmarked for the renovation of municipal sports facilities. The other half, 5 million euros, goes to sports clubs via the state sports association. So, there's plenty of cash to go around! Applications must be in no later than June 30.
The state is ready to cover up to 40% of the costs for facility renovations, up to a maximum of 1.5 million euros per project. But for financially struggling municipalities, they'll cover up to 80%, with a cap of 3 million euros.
When deciding which projects to fund, they consider age, energy efficiency, accessibility, how often the facility is used, and regional distribution. With a priority on making swimming lessons accessible to all, especially the youth, and improving existing infrastructure.
Now, as for the nuts and bolts of this funding program, the enrichment data hints that criteria might include promoting public health and physical activity, focusing on initiatives that improve sports infrastructure accessibility for the general population, sustainable use projects, and community involvement. Plus, prioritizing areas that lack existing facilities or have poor access. But for the official, precise criteria tied to this funding, you'll want to visit the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior's website or give them a call. Happy swimming!"
