Preserve and expand sports facilities and swimming pools
The AfD wants to renovate and expand gyms, sports fields and swimming pools so that sports are accessible everywhere and to everyone. All elementary school students in North Rhine-Westphalia should learn to swim safely, and daycare centers and schools should offer more physical activity.
The AfD wants to repair gyms and swimming pools and build new ones. Everyone should be able to do sports. All elementary school children should learn to swim safely. Daycare centers and schools should offer more sports.
The platform laments decades of decay in sports infrastructure in cities, clubs and schools. Renovation funds should be available without much red tape, and the state, municipalities and businesses should form partnerships and sponsorships. For swimming pools the AfD calls for plans and funding programs, including training for teachers; it cites a Forsa survey saying 60 percent of elementary school students are not safe swimmers. Kindergartens and schools should also offer more exercise, more PE lessons and healthier food, for example in sports-focused elementary schools.
