B's Swim School

About

Swim School for waterproofing babies to young children, stroke correction and water polo players

Description

Based in Bryanston, Johannesburg, B’s Swim School is headed up by ex-South African national water polo player, Brendan Varrie. The school’s ethos is to develop a child’s athletic and aquatic skills in a fun and uncompetitive environment, helping to ensure a lifelong love of the water.

We use the US-developed B Swim Safe programme which is designed to teach water safety skills and the ability to swim in a very short space of time for children from 6 months up to 8 years of age.

We offer a one-on-one programme for infants (6 - 12 months), children (1 – 4 years) and children 4 years and up. On completion of the intensive programmes all children move on to group classes. Special needs children are also accommodated.

We offer group classes for infants (with moms and our instructor in the water), kick-float-kick classes for 1 – 4 year olds and strokes and floats group classes for 4 years and older.

Our school follows the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model devised by the Canadian sports institute which focuses on late specialisation in order to develop an athlete multilaterally. LTAD is designed to reduce burn-out, increase results, and protect our young athletes.

Please be in touch for more information on any of our classes. Contact Brendan on 083 6499 067 or [email protected].

"Launched in 2005, the B Swim Safe program was developed with the single focus of saving children’s lives. The Swim Safe Program is the safest and most effective way to ensure your baby or toddler develops a life-long skill and love of the water.We believe that it should not take longer than six weeks for children to learn to swim and pick up the necessary skills that could ultimately end up saving their lives. Our structured approach builds the confidence of the child slowly and steadily through daily attendance. From 12 months old to toddlers, we teach children to swim, rotate on their backs to float to get air."
