Previously known as SwimQuest, which was established in 1993 and now under new ownership trading as SplashLab Aquatics. We offer a modern, indoor heated and CHILD-FRIENDLY facility in Farrarmere, Benoni, Eastern Gauteng. Our swimming school is situated in close proximity to Boksburg, Brakpan, Springs and Kempton Park.
Whether you are looking for baby (infant) / toddler swimming lessons, learn to swim classes for children aged 3 years and over, stroke development, stroke correction, junior training or endurance training, we can assist you.
Splashlab adheres to extremely high standards with regards to safety, cleanliness and hygiene and takes every precaution to maintain pristine water quality. We make use of CMS services and always have a security guard onsite. CMS also do regular and random patrols in the area of the swimming school.
Our policy is one of transparency at all times and children are always taught in full view of their parents.
Duration of Classes
Lessons are approximately 30 minutes each and parents can enrol their children for once or twice a week classes, subject to availability. There is very little price difference between once or twice a week swimming as we do encourage parents to attend classes regularly. It stands to reason that the more frequently children attend lessons, the quicker they will learn. Success is all about constant aquatic exposure. Having said this, however, once a week classes are better than no classes at all!
How Long Will It Take For Your Child To Learn To Swim?
There is unfortunately no definitive answer to this question. What we can tell you is that there is no “quick fix” when it comes to learning to swim. The more committed you are to bringing your child to lessons regularly, the faster your child will progress. It is all about constant aquatic exposure. A child would learn to swim as quickly as he / she learns to walk if he / she was exposed to the aquatic environment as frequently as he / she was given the opportunity to practise walking. No child is the same and, just as they learn to roll over, crawl, walk and talk at different times, so it is with swimming.
