At Moot Swimming, we provide swimming lessons for babies from 6 – 36 months of age. Mom or Dad is in the pool with baby, having fun while learning takes place. This is also a great bonding session for parents and baby. Swimming is a life skill that everyone should possess. Babies lack the strength, co-ordination and motor skills to swim on the surface of water until 30-36 months of age. Our Baby Swimming classes aim is to teach a baby to swim in a calm, relaxed, structured environment, through play, song, word association, repetition and encouragement at all times. This will help baby to feel safe in the water. The objective is for the baby to have fun, develop and advance at their own pace, while swimming and submersing under the water. Initially the baby is gently introduced to the swimming environment. We gradually add cues and repetitive exercises are introduced, consequently teaching the baby safety in and around the aquatic environment. Baby is also taught the back float and the feeling of buoyance in the water while on their backs with their ears in the water.
At Moot Swimming, our Learn to Swim classes are 20 – 30 minutes long and range from beginner classes to more advanced swimming skills. All our swimmers are constantly supervised. We keep the swimming classes small, to ensure individual attention.
Swimmers are grouped according to age and ability Our aim through this careful supervision and encouragement is to teach each swimmer “water safety” so that when falling into the water, they will know how to turn around and hold on to the pool edge and either waits for help or exit the pool (depending on age and skill). We teach total beginners basic water safety and as they progress, they move on to more advanced techniques and strokes. We believe that each child/person develops at their own pace.
We provide transport from various nursery and primary schools within our area at no additional cost. We also have late afternoon/evening as well as Saturday slots for parents who prefer to bring the swimmer for lessons.
At Moot Swimming, we believe in teaching our swimmers the first time right. We aim to make all our swimmers gala-ready in all four strokes of swimming. From a very young age we focus on the correct stroke, allowing them to develop into top-quality swimmers for a lifetime. We keep the lesson interesting and exciting for them by using an array of equipment and swimming drills to perfect their stroke. Our qualified instructors give them hands-on training inside the water, and guiding them on their way to becoming happy, successful swimmers.
At Moot Swimming, we believe that you are never too young or too old to master the skills of swimming. We offer lessons to all adults, 19 – 99+ years of age. Our qualified instructors can help you achieve your goals, whether it is just to enjoy recreational activities with friends and family or swim the Midmar Mile. We believe that each individual learn at their own pace. Groups are fun and many friendships are formed at swimming.
