Is Learning to Swim Important?

Here in South Africa, we enjoy an incredible outdoor lifestyle—whether it's by the pool, at a braai near a dam, or spending weekends at rivers and ponds. Unfortunately, these beautiful places can also be dangerous. Children can find themselves in life-threatening situations in the blink of an eye.

As a mom of three beautiful children, I know the anxiety of being at a party or gathering where there’s open water. For me, getting my kids confident in the water was the only way I could relax.

Teaching children to swim from a young age gives them the confidence and skills they need to stay afloat and safely reach the edge of the pool or body of water. It’s not just a skill—it’s a lifesaver.

My Teaching Method

My approach is simple, nurturing, and fun. The first step is making sure your child feels comfortable in the water—and with me. From there, we play games, sing songs, and introduce the basics of swimming in a way that feels more like play than learning.

One of the most important milestones is helping your child become confident putting their face in the water. Through laughter, music, and movement, they build skills without even realizing it. Every small step builds toward bigger progress—and the number one rule is to have fun!

When Should We Start Lessons?

The sooner, the better! But it’s never too late to learn. I offer a free, no-obligation assessment and introduction session where I can get to know your child and explain how the lessons work. Based on that, we’ll determine the best class and lesson frequency for your needs.
