Frequently Asked Questions
What age are children's lessons for?
Children's lessons run from four years upwards, from complete beginners through to confident swimmers working on stroke correction. We assess your child first and place them in the right class. Lessons are 30 minutes, and parents stay out of the water at this age so your child works directly with their teacher.
Do you offer private lessons?
Yes, group, private, and shared private options are available. Get in touch to discuss.
When do terms run?
We follow the Cape Town school calendar as closely as we can, though our terms generally will not match it exactly. We close for only one week after each term, which keeps lessons consistent and protects your child's progress. Current term dates are on our Term Dates & Pricing page.
