Aquatic Zone and Aquatots Houghton

Swimming lessons for babies, kids & adults

Aquatots swim program is a parent-child swimming program focusing on water safety. Aquatots SA consists of 9 franchises across Gauteng and caters for all ages, birth to adults.

Babies

We follow the Aquatots SA program to teach babies. The parent-tot group approach that develops the natural swimming ability of infants 6-36 months in a loving and fun-filled environment. The inherent potential of infants is encouraged and developed through songs and games in the aquatic environment.

For babies from 0-6months we teach your baby to float in the bath via zoom with a qualified Aquatots teacher in the comfort of your own home. Don’t let your baby miss out on learning the crucial survival skill.

Beginners

Children are taught in groups of 2 or 4 (at the moment we are not offering any groups of 4 because of Covid -19) – they are put into groups of similar ability and age – My philosophy is to teach them to swim through play using toys, games and rhymes. Respect of and love of water is also taught as well as water safety.

Stroke classes

Once your child is able to swim they will then learn the different strokes – we teach them basic strokes. Once their strokes are perfected they will “graduate” from our swim school and they will need to go to a larger pool to train.

Adult swimming lessons

These are suitable for beginner adults and beginner strokes (we also teach them in the afternoon)
