We Have Transparent Principles
We operate openly in both internal and external relationships. We have our own distribution rules and a clear pricing policy.
We offer swim-floaties and accessories for learning to swim, and we support emerging businesses looking to enter the airtight inflatable products market.



Our story
The founder of the Cherek’s KraulQuappen® brand is Reiner Cherek. Together with his wife Luba, he ran a swimming school in Frankfurt for over 40 years. He also worked on water rehabilitation and collaborated with Richard Kiphard – the creator of the physiotherapy concept.
Cherek advocated a holistic approach that, through small steps, develops children’s physical potential and strengthens their self-confidence. He compared a child’s ability to float in water to crawling, exploring limits, and pushing boundaries. He wanted to create aids that increase the sense of safety by providing an optimal balance point during water activities while simultaneously allowing children to foster their psychomotor skills freely and find joy in being in water from the earliest days of life.
This is how the prototype of the famous KraulQuappen® was created.

As a family-run company, we have been operating in the airtight inflatable products industry for over 44 years. In 1999, we produced the first batch of swim-floaties for the KraulQuappen® brand. Since then, we have continued this exceptional business relationship based on shared goals and trust.
Recently, we have co-created an entire group of collaborating brands – WATS Cherek’s KraulQuappen, WMDiving, and Aquafamily. Our portfolio includes diverse projects in the fields of water sports, entertainment, recreation, advertising, and art.
However, Cherek’s swim-floaties remain our flagship product.

We are constantly seeking innovative solutions and improving our products. Over the years, we have refined the original design of Cherek’s KraulQuappen® swim-floaties and the technology behind their production.
We have created a product we are proud of. Today, our inflatable swimming aids are exported to many countries worldwide – including the EU, USA, Australia, and Turkey.
Become a Distributor
We want our swim-floaties to help as many people as possible fall in love with water and swimming. That’s why we are continually expanding the KraulQuappen® distributor network. We support businesses looking to enter or strengthen their position in the airtight inflatable products market. Would you like to benefit from our experience?
