New Swimmers: Lessons for Integration and Health

Councillor Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed that Stockholm investigate offering swimming lessons to newly arrived adults via SFI and involving sports clubs to boost swimming proficiency for integration and public health. The City Executive Board majority responded that the city already undertakes similar initiatives, including through Welcome House, and that a state inquiry recommends SFI provide information about swimming lessons, deeming the motion addressed. The Moderates and Liberals dissented, advocating for the motion's approval and further investigation to combine city and club resources.
