Insurance for Watersportcenter and Instructors

The normal, standard products from the insurance industry do not provide adequate coverage for schools and instructors. The VDWS has therefore signed special framework agreements with the insurance broker SüdwestRing. The advantage for our members: complete insurance coverage + low premiums.
