Is Learning to swim Important?
The answer is absolutely. Here in South Africa we enjoy a great outdoor lifestyle playing around pools, rivers, ponds and damns, unfortunately these places can also be very dangerous and children can find themselves in a life threatening situations faster than you can blink.
I understand the stress of worrying about your child at a braai or party where there is open water, I am a mom of 3 beautiful children and getting them swimming quickly was the only way I could cope.
Introducing children to water and teaching them needs to happen as young as possible and raising there ability to stay afloat and move safely to the edge of the water is so important.
My Teaching Method
My teaching methods are simple. I focus on making your child comfortable in the water and with me first. We then play some fun games which are designed to teach your child the basics accompanied by songs we sing together, it is great fun and so effective.
An important part of learning how to swim is getting your child to put their face under water. During this time they will be having so much fun doing the actions and listening to songs they don’t realise how much they are learning. Every little step that we do has a progession to it. The most important aspect to learn to swim is to have fun in the water
At what age should we start lessons?
The sooner the better and it is never too late to learn either. Book a visit and I will give you an free assesment and introduction to how I do things. From there you can decide based on my assesment how many times you would like to have lessons a month and I will make sure your child joins the right class for their level.
When is the right time of year?
All year, this is why I have a well ventilated indoor heated pool. Swimming all year round helps to keep your childs confidence up in the water and gets them ready for those awesome summer days around the pool. There are heated change rooms, a warm shower and hairdryers to keep them nice and toasty during the winter months. Pool temp is kept between 32 and 34 degrees.
What are the swim school hours?
Classes for all levels are offered Monday to Friday 13:00 till 17:30 and Saturday mornings 8:00 till 12:00.
How much will this cost?
Well I do run a swim school so there are monthly charges that vary based on a few criteria so please contact me via email or on my mobile during mornings for costs.
