LEARN TO SWIM
Every child learns at their own pace. Our priority is to teach water safety and build self-confidence while developing gross motor skills and core strength. In their first years, children master many foundational skills, and swimming should be one of them.
Soon they'll be enjoying a lifetime of water adventures!
STROKE CORRECTION
Stroke technique is on-going in the Learn-to-Swim program.
While learning to swim freestyle and backstroke, your children will be introduced to the other 2 competitive strokes.
Water confident swimmers, with basic co-ordination skills progress into the stroke correction programme. Success in all aspects of life is all about learning to trust one’s self and pushing self - imposed prohibitive “boundaries” aside. This process is activated in our Learn to Swim programme.
SQUAD SWIMMING
We have a league or niche for every swimmers ability.
The Aquatic Academy offers 3 squad levels - dependent on the ability and level of competition the swimmer wishes to compete in. Our swimmers compete throughout the full spectrum of events, from Novice, School, Open Water, to Provincial, National and International.
Academy, present and past swimmers have represented Gauteng Aquatics, Eastern Aquatics, and have set many provincial records ranging in events from the 50m Fly to 400m Individual Medley. Kyle Mckenzie set a new record in the 200 Individual Medley event in Pesaro (Italy) during the Rossini Cup in 2018. Swimmers compete in Age Group events, South African Regional and National Open Championships.
