Quote of the year

Our Christmas 2025 donation of €1,000 goes to Nikolauspflege to support blind and visually impaired children. As swimming and being in the water are close to our hearts at PAASP, our donation will contribute specifically to swimming equipment, helping children with visual impairments experience the freedom, confidence, and joy of being in the water.
