The "swimming for unicef" campaign

More and more children are finishing elementary school without knowing how to swim.

Capri-Sonne decided to help change this situation and subsequently founded the Capri-Sonne swimming program in 2005. With the help of the Baden-Württemberg state ministry of education, youth affairs and sports, the University of Heidelberg and the North Rhine-Westphalia swimming association, Capri-Sonne supports elementary school teachers and students by providing a film and brochure about swimming lessons. Beyond that, Capri-Sonne has also created a badge for kids who have not yet reached the "sea horse" level. This motivates even younger kids to learn how to swim.

Capri-Sonne is an official sponsor of school swimming programs in Baden-Württemberg. In June 2007 the company's efforts earned the "Aktie-e" (www.aktie-e.de (German website)), an award for corporate commitment to social issues in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region.
