 GENERAL INFORMATION:

Remember that each child progresses at their own pace.  There is no right age to learn how to crawl or walk or talk.  Swimming is the same.

The approach at the Swim School is a child based one.  That means that the child is not forced to do anything but each new skill is added when the child is ready. 

It can take months to break the fear of going underwater but once it is broken and the child knows they “did it themselves” or that they made the decision to go underwater  without being forced, progress can be very rapid.

The Swim School is a feeder programme for the Kouga Swim Club, which offers squad training as well as open water training.

Adults who want to swim to become fit or want to improve their strokes are also catered for.

Swim programs are designed to suit individuals.  Brenton can be contacted for an assessment.
