Stellenbosch Aquatics offers swimming lessons to children from ages 6 and older. Our lessons are offered from the Virgin Active, Eikestad Mall, Stellenbosch and older children move into the outdoor pool at Rhenish High School.
Our coaches are qualified through Swim South Africa and are passionate about water safety and encouraging children to grow into Active-for-Life adult swimmers. When you learn to swim properly, you enjoy the sport more. Learning to swim all the strokes (Freestyle, Backstroke, Butterfly and Breaststroke) provides an all-over correct muscle and bone strengthening and development. Children who aim to do Water Polo, Lifesaving and/or Triathlon also benefit greatly from out swimming training.
Also incorporated in the training, as the child matures, are the soft skills of discipline, team spirit, endurance and goal setting.
Our lessons follow the Long Term Athlete Development program and start with the Fundamentals Learn-to-Swim, through the Junior Beginner Train to Train and leading up to Junior Squad Train to Compete.
Adult Active for Life swimmers are also catered for through our partner, Stellenbosch Triathlon Squad. Individual swimming lessons are also offered for adults who would like to learn to swim or improve their swimming.
We offer an Active Kids Holiday Camp during the main holidays, which includes cycling, swimming, running, ball games and other fun activities - keep an eye on our events!
