Over the years, the dm millennium jump has become a unique event that offers thousands of participants a good time while encouraging them to take care of their health and support the community. The first dm millennium jump took place in 2007 when the organisers also established the Swimming School for Children with Developmental Disabilities. Since then, 357 children aged four to seven have participated in the “Hydrotherapy Program and Little Swimming School,” which enables children with developmental disabilities to acquire new skills, strengthen their self-confidence, and improve their socialisation.
