    «I’ve been with SWICA since 1955; before that I was with ZOKU. I’ve never regretted making the change. SWICA’s benefits are comprehensive and effective. So, if you get sick, this gives you a good feeling, which helps you get back on your feet more quickly.»

    «My family and I trust in SWICA. I was a professional ice hockey player for 14 years and accidents were the order of the day. Our medical team always looked after us extremely well. After my sports career ended, I decided that I wanted the same care and security for my family and myself. With SWICA I’ve found the ideal partner for my family.»

    «I’ve been insured with SWICA for as long as I can remember. Fortunately I’ve always enjoyed good health, and I intend to ensure that it stays that way. Thanks to the Completa Praeventa contribution towards my gym membership and my annual membership at the pool, I am more motivated to do something to stay in good physical health.»
