South Africa’s Proven Pathway to Excellence
From Learn-to-Swim to USA Scholarships, Paralympians and Olympians Since 1992.

Many clubs can talk about coaching quality, training times, or facilities. Very few can genuinely say they have:

• Produced Olympic swimmers from their age-group program at every Olympics since 1992.
• Developed Paralympic athletes at the highest level.
• Been consistently among the leading clubs in KwaZulu-Natal and South Africa.
• Contributed to the success of the aQuelle Midmar Mile.
• Created pathways to USA college scholarships.
• Offered learn-to-swim, competitive, elite, and Masters programs under one umbrella.
• Maintained international links and representation in other African countries.

Competitive Swimming refers to the swimmers in the squads who choose to take part in Swimming South Africa (SSA) sanctioned galas and therefore obtain ‘official’ times that are uploaded to the SSA database. Once official times are on the SSA database, the swimmer’s ‘Level’ is determined. They range from Level 1 to Level 3, followed by SA Junior and SA Senior. 

The swim season starts on 1 May through to 30 April the following year. Many galas are held at the GC Jolliffe Pool – the home of Seals Swimming Club – in Pietermaritzburg. Additional meets take place in the Ethekweni District. Regional and National meet venues at the end of the season are normally confirmed halfway through the season.
