Boost sports funding and launch a swimming push
The CDU wants to expand support for sports in Brandenburg, with a focus on children and young people. Every child should learn to swim, sports facilities should keep being built, and the state sports federation should get more money.
The CDU wants to spend more on sports. Children and teens should benefit most. Every child should learn to swim. Pools should be easier to reach. Sports fields and gyms should be expanded.
The “Golden Plan Sport” investment program for sports facilities would continue, and the state sports federation would receive extra funding. The CDU wants to examine whether youth sports can become a mandatory municipal task. Physical activity in daycare would be expanded and made a required part of training for early childhood educators. The swimming push includes a funding program for municipalities and clubs and incentives for the lifeguard and pool attendant profession. Esports would be supported without endangering sports clubs' nonprofit status.
