Become water safeOne stroke at a time

Learn to Swim

We do 1 on 1 lessons, we feel this is more beneficial as we can focus on the learners strengths and weaknesses - 15 minutes for beginner, 30 minutes for an older fit child / adult.

Swimming for Babies

We do 1 on 1 lessons for your babies from 6 months old. Together we develop water awareness, safety and basic swimming skills.

Adult Classes

Private lessons from beginner to learning proper strokes. At Flippers our 10m x 4m pool is tranquil with the indoor facility allowing a warmer environment, minimal noise disruption and distractions. Warm water and a comfortable depth complete this learning environment.

Crash Course

Introduction to swimming/ improve your strokes/ refresher/ fitness. Swimmers who have had a break from their previously learned skills will have deteriorated. They will need to revise before progressing.

Welcome to Flippers Swim School

Flippers Swim School was started in 2010, when Nikki Britz had the desire for a warm, intimate, friendly swimming environment. Lessons are 1 on 1 so that each swimmers personal needs are catered for, and their strenghs are used to benefit a faster learning process. The instructor is always in the pool ensuring the swimmer is comfortable and safe.

At Flippers our 10m x 4m pool is tranquil with the indoor facility allowing a warmer environment, minimal noise disruption and environmental distractions. Warm water and a comfortable depth complete this learning environment.

Mission Statement

Skill developed includes building confidence to submerging underwater, to understanding and developing buoyancy and propulsion. This is a continuous process of informal aquatic play and games involving floatation, sculling, water friction and an introduction to strokes. Learners build confidence and strength as well as co-ordination, flexibility and eventually can move to intermediate phase of improved self confidence and speed.
