Most Barcelona clubs make a four-year-old pick one sport. 5 PALS keeps a swimming base and rotates everything else around it — pre-karate at four and five, then water polo, diving and athletics from six — so a child samples the club's sections before committing to one. And unlike the club's swim courses, members and non-members pay exactly the same.
A multi-sport program built around swimming, so kids get variety through the week without giving up the pool. Two groups: iniciació (4-5) pairs swim technique with pre-karate; tecnificació (6+) adds a Friday session that rotates through the club's sports sections.
