  • A leaked internal report from the German city ofย Dรผsseldorf has lain bare the rapidly developing child sex crisis in swimming pools, for which so-called โ€˜refugeesโ€™ are often identified as the culprits.

    The document, distributed among specialist officers dealing with sex crimes and confirmed to Germanyโ€™sย Bild newspaper as genuine expresses concern โ€œthat sexual offences are recording a huge increase.

    โ€œIn particular, offences of rape and sexual abuse of children in bathing establishments is significantโ€.

    The document goes on to acknowledge that, despite protests by pro-migrant advocacygroups who have protested vocally against swimming baths closing their doors to โ€˜refugeesโ€™ to protect their regular customers, that โ€œthe perpetrators are for the most part immigrantsโ€.

    The police admitted catching these criminals because the victims often found it difficult to identify their attackers.

    Germanyโ€™sย Welt reports the remarks of Berthold Schmitt, who manages some 6,000 indoor, outdoor, and school swimming pools across Germany on the migrant sex wave. Remarking on the reasons, as he perceived them for these attacks he said: โ€œThe โ€˜new citizensโ€™, as we call them, have three main problems. They do not speak German, they have no knowledge of German or European bathing culture, and few are powerful swimmersโ€.

  • One in five Swedish children canโ€™t swim. Which, in a land full of lakes and surrounded by sea, is one in five too many. So E.ON and the Swedish Swimming Federation have launched a VR-initiative to give kids the confidence they need to get into the water. Called The Power of Swimming, itโ€™s a small but significant step towards a swim-savvy Sweden.

    The project is aimed at young non-swimmers who need a little encouragement to take the plunge. The initiative aims to inspire young people to swim and to raise water-confidence all over the country this summer.
