What is the temperature of the pool water at swimming schools?

The temperatures generally fluctuate between 32 and 34 degrees. However, it’s important for the temperature to be above 28 degrees, especially for babies and toddlers.

How old must a person be to take swimming lessons?

There are swimming schools in Potchefstroom that offer lessons to people of all ages. Babies as young as 5 months have been known to receive swimming lessons. Believe it or not, babies can learn how to swim. In fact, it usually comes quite naturally to them. However, not all swimming schools offer lessons to babies. It’s important to double-check first.

How long does it take to learn how to swim?

It depends on the individual and the age that they started learning how to swim. Children generally learn faster, however, it’s possible to learn how to swim at any age. There are people out there who have learnt how to swim in a matter of hours.

What should a student bring along for their first swimming lesson?

Students must wear proper swimwear during their swimming lessons. This generally entails tight nylon or polyester material. Board shorts, sweaters or loose clothing are not a good idea. If the student is a child that is not potty trained, they should wear a swimming nappy under their bathing costume. In addition, caps are great for keeping long hair out of the face and they also assist with keeping the pool clean. Goggles are not a necessity, however, they might help if the student has sensitive or sore eyes. Over time, they’ll hopefully become used to the water as you don’t want to become too reliant on goggles.

What happens if I am late for the swimming lesson?

Every swimming instructor in Potchefstroom has their own policy. However, if you arrive late you can probably still have a lesson for the remainder of the time that is allocated towards you. However, you should try to show up for the swimming lessons on time and make the most out of your experience and get your money’s worth.

What happens if the student is sick on the day of a lesson?

All you can do is use your best judgment and decide if it’s worth it to still have the lesson. If the student has flu-like symptoms, fever, vomiting or a stomach ache, they should not come to class. If they have a runny nose or a cough, they could still attend their lesson, but you must exercise caution.

Are parents allowed to watch their children have their lessons?

Yes, parents should always be allowed to sit in during a lesson. However, they should avoid interfering with the lesson. Swimming instructors in Potchefstroom are trained professionals and they will make sure that your child is safe at all times. Furthermore, younger children need to form a bond with the instructor and it helps if they don’t have distractions.
