«As a family, we’ve been insured with SWICA for years now and we're 100% satisfied! SWICA covers a large part of the cost of swimming lessons for our children. Our middle child goes to dances classes, and I was amazed to find that SWICA is the only health insurer which helps out with the cost. Fantastic!!!

But that's not all... SWICA was also there for us during an extremely difficult period. Our son became very ill when he was just 16 months old. My husband and I were given a parents’ room at the children’s hospital, even though I was no longer breastfeeding. The situation was looked into and a decision was taken to cover these costs. Really thoughtful and family-friendly. Ever since then we wouldn’t consider any other health insurer! You are the best! Our son has made a full recovery 😉.»

«I’ve been a loyal and proud SWICA customer for several years now. Thanks to SWICA’s ideal supplementary insurance plan I had the opportunity following a snowboard accident to recover thanks to fitness centres, physiotherapy and massage centres. This has enabled me to get back to my passion – dancing.»

«I've been more than satisfied for many years. Last year the BENEVITA health platform helped me a lot. I took myself in hand and lost 20 kilos, and I’ve been able to keep the weight off ever since. Now all I have to do is stay as healthy as I am now and live till I’m at least a hundred.»

«The website is clear, straightforward and informative. I particularly like the BENEVITA app, which addresses interesting topics on a daily basis and really inspires me. All in all, I am a SWICA fan and try to persuade as many people as possible that, if they want to have the best possible partner for comprehensive health care at their side, they should do as I do and choose SWICA!»

«The tips I received from the BENEVITA team made me aware of exactly what I had to change in my eating and exercise routines. It's true that I was taking a lot of exercise and eating appropriate foods, but the exercise I was doing turned out to be inefficient and I wasn’t eating enough protein. Now I’ve lost four kilos – my body is more toned and I’m pleased with how I look.»

«Last year I started running, changed my diet and began taking better care of myself. So I was looking for an insurer which would support me in my new health-conscious lifestyle. As soon as I came across the BENEVITA bonus programme, my decision was made.»

«I joined BENEVITA in 2016 and it has changed my life completely. I put much effort into a healthy life, including exercise, food, sleeping and so on. Since then, I feel I am much healthier and happier both physically and mentally. Recently, I got my 300 healthies surprise, which make me more motivated to keep strong. Thank you SWICA for helping us in our healthy life.»

«Until a few years ago I didn’t do any exercise and was putting on weight. But that’s all in the past now. SWICA’s supplementary benefits encouraged me to become more active. Without SWICA I would be living an unhealthy life and be unhappy with my body. Thank you!»

«SWICA supports me in my efforts to live a healthy lifestyle. When I was trying out Bodypump with a friend, she told me that SWICA made generous contributions to her fitness club membership.
