Swimming lessons for kids
We run 30-minute classes, allowing time for kids to settle, have their lesson and have 5 minutes of play-time.

This is a fun interactive program which will help to get your child water aware and able to swim a length of the
Pool
- Private lessons (2 ½ years old +)
We offer private lessons for your children should we feel that they would benefit from one-on-one tuition.

Adult swimming classes (from 18 years +)
If you’ve never enjoyed the freedom of being able to dive right in or the thrill of making a giant splash while shouting ‘Bombs away!’ then it’s time to take the plunge and talk to us about swimming lessons.
Group lessons for pre-schools or swimming squad training
- ‘Learn to swim’ - we offer group classes for nursery schools 2 mornings a week so that children don’t miss out on this essential skill.
- Squad training - we offer special group classes for various levels within squads targeted at turning raw talent into streamlined success, with the view of attending galas and competitions.
Lessons for kids with special needs
We have special wheel chair access and offer the facilities to teach any children with special needs (such as autism and cerebral palsy, for example). Our highly qualified team of swimming instructors give individual attention tailored specifically to meet each child’s individual needs and unique set of circumstances.
Aqua Aerobics
A great way to have some fun while fighting the flab and getting fit. Each class is choreographed according to the needs of the individuals, for example:

A soothing full body massage that takes place while floating in warm (33 degree) water. The body is free to be manipulated and stretched in ways impossible on land. Often a client will not notice the therapeutic techniques at work on their bodies, although few fail to notice the results.

Scuba parties
The scuba experience is all about ‘breathing air underwater’.
An instructor and a facilitator is in the pool at all times and a facilitator is ‘on land’ overseeing the pool area.
The gear that we make use of allows 4 children to go down at a time. The rest of the group has masks, surf fins, snorkels and underwater scooters so they get to interact with the children breathing air. Underwater games are played..
Each child gets a ‘dive card’ at the end of the party which is part of the party package.
Optional Extra’s:
- Ice cream cake
- Underwater footage
- Children’s catering
- Adult platters
