Learn to Swim

Seals Swimming Club offers a comprehensive Learn to Swim (LTS) programme in our heated pool facilities, all year round. The LTS pool has a depth of 0.9m with extra large step areas.

We have four teachers, each of whom specialize with certain age groups and can offer lessons at different times of the day from Monday to Saturday, that will best suit your needs.

With lessons offered for babies as young as 6 months old, school children and adults, there really is every opportunity at Seals for anyone to be introduced to the water, overcome fears and gain and build confidence in a safe and fun environment that promotes swimming not just as a sport but as a life skill.

We use an 8 level certification testing system which ranges from basic water entry in a safe manner to completing all 4 strokes with lifesaving skills.

For children, the lessons are age and stage appropriate and based on fun activities in group lessons through repetition. At an appropriate stage, the swimmer may be offered some time in the 25m indoor pool as part of the transition to the junior squads. When ready, the swimmer is encouraged to join the Junior Nippers Squad that trains entirely in the 25m pool, setting the progression to a higher level of training enjoyed by the Competitive swimmers.

For adults, we teach in the same safe and fun environment. Goals for adults will all be varied so whether you are wanting to be water safe while you play with your children and grandchildren at home, improve your existing swim technique or aiming to swim the annual Midmar Mile, we can help you achieve!

All our LTS teachers are qualified and registered with Swimming South Africa (SSA) which involves annual Level 1 First Aid (including CPR) as well as Police Clearance.

Open to all swimmers currently part of a registered LTS programme. For more details please speak to your teacher or contact: Odette 082 466 8577

Odette Randelhoff (Swim Scene)

Having taught swimming for 35 years (over 30 of which have been as part of Seals Swimming Club) I am passionate and dedicated to the LTS programme at all levels including special needs. I enjoy introducing swimmers to the pool and seeing them have fun while they progress through all stages of stroke correction and technique, as well as instilling water safety lessons for life.  I aim to help ‘make every swimmer the best they can be’ and sharing the joy found in the sport.

As a Competitive swimmer from primary school to Matric, and a classroom teacher for 36 years after that, I have been consistently involved in swim coaching at various levels. Upon opening my swim school in 2017, I specialise at Seals with LTS programmes for adults and stroke technique for Tri-Athletes. With an approach that allows adults to feel comfortable, relaxed and confident in the water, we also work together to develop fitness and takes steps towards realistic goals.
