our programs
For babies 6-22 months old ... this program is specifically designed to introduce your baby to water. A parent/guardian of the child gets into the water with the child and participates in all the classes. The benefits of this program are numerous. We follow the PBTSA method and awards. For more information, please se www.pbtsa.co.za.
This program familiarizes the swimmer with water and develops his/her swimming skills. Water safety and respect form the basis of this program.
For those teenagers and adults who have never learnt to swim. We focus on basic swimming skills as well as safety aspects in and around the swimming pool or open water. Classes are once a week for 40 minutes.
Swimmers competent in the water from 4/5 years and older. In this program we focus on the development of the swimming strokes and other relevant aspects. This is not a coaching class, we teach the strokes here so that the swimmer may progress to coaching classes, and participate in galas. These classes take place once a week and are 40 minutes long. Classes are once a week for 40 minutes.
This course is for all domestic workers and is designed to teach "child carers" what to do in an emergency situation especially around water. The "guardian angels" get to climb into the pool and learn different ways to retrieve a person in trouble, get them out of the water and start CPR (if necessary). This course is not only for domestic workers, parents can also participate in the CPR and basic life support certificates. A trained paramedic will assist us during this program.
All our programs are repeat and repetition style. We have found that this method helps the swimmer to relax and enjoy the lessons rather than finding themselves in a different situation each time they come to swimming. Each swimmer is treated as an individual and will progress at his/her own pace.
Swimming lessons are 20 minutes long and take place twice a week. There are classes taking place most of the days with our last class ending at 17h40. Adult classes are from 17h40 – 18h30 (Mondays – Thursdays).
For children being transported from different nursery schools, we will arrange their swimming times to ensure that the kids do not miss any important work at school.
