Swimming club ZIOS Liedekerke.
You are on the official site of the swimming club ZIOS (www.zios.be).
ZIOS is the abbreviation of "zwemmen is onze sport what means "Swimming Is Our Sport"
Let me take a moment to present you our club
The club is founded in 1968. From the start we had in mind to create a club, with a friendly atmosphere, where
everybody who's interested in swimming, is welcome.
We help the little ones to get used to the water (overcome the fear of water) We have a swimming school for
children and for adults. We consummate the technique of swimming and make the children familiar with different
styles of swimming. We provide the opportunity of leisure swimming but our members have also the possibility to
participate competitions.
Both, leisure swimming and competition can be done indoors and outdoors (rivers, canals and lakes) and the
opportunities are there for every body, children, grown-ups and seniors.
The majority of the competitions we joined are situated in Belgium, Occasionally we also participate a competition
in one of our neighbouring countries.
The whole site is written in Dutch. This is so, because also our youngest members, has to find the information they
are looking for. However it's quite possible that you are interested in the information that can be found on this site.
That's the reason why we added this English page to our site.
