She was once a world-class swimmer. Now Ulrike Schmidt gives swimming lessons - at the Aue indoor swimming pool.

Learning to swim with world champion technique: in Aue-Bad Schlema (Erzgebirgskreis), a genuine Olympic and world champion is giving swimming lessons to children. From the beginning of the year, Ulrike Schmidt (66) will once again be teaching children from the age of five and a half at the Aue indoor swimming pool, according to the town council. You can register from November 24.

Schmidt won three gold medals for the GDR at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal under her birth name Richter. She also won several world and European championship titles.
