Open Water Academy
Welcome to the Swim School Open Water Academy
At our Open Water Academy, we believe in the seamless transition from pool to open water. Our comprehensive program ensures that your swimming journey is an exciting and rewarding one, whether you're just starting or looking to take your skills to the next level.
Dive into Open Water
For us, swimming in open water means conquering any body of water and embracing a wide range of aquatic sports. Our curriculum covers it all, from traditional swimming galas to the exhilaration of open water adventures, including dam, river, and sea swimming, water polo, life-saving techniques, canoeing, and rowing.
A Progressive Learning Path
Our program is designed to take you from your first strokes in the pool all the way to becoming a proficient open water swimmer. We offer step-by-step instruction, starting with learning to swim and stroke development, progressing to speed training and increasing your endurance for longer distances.
Unleash Your Inner Adventurer
Once you’ve honed your swimming skills, mastered stroke development, and built your endurance, we encourage you to take on the challenge of open water events. Here, you’ll learn invaluable lessons about reading water currents, adapting to various weather conditions, mastering survival strokes, and pushing your limits in endurance events.
Compete and Excel
For those seeking competition, our academy is affiliated with the Swim 1st Club, a registered swimming club. You have the option to compete as an individual or represent our academy as a registered swimmer through CGA (Central Gauteng Aquatics). This allows you to showcase your skills and passion for swimming at various levels.
At the Swim School and Open Water Academy, we don’t just teach swimming; we nurture a lifelong love for the water. Join us on this aquatic journey, where the pool and open water become one. Dare to dream, push your boundaries, and make a splash in the world of swimming.
