About Us

Our Journey

Splashmates Swim School was born from a shared love for water and a vision to create a nurturing space where swimmers of all ages could thrive. Bought from a family friend 19 years ago by Claudia, a passionate swim instructor, our school has become a beacon for aquatic enthusiasts in the heart of Gauteng, South Africa.

We believe that swimming is more than a skill—it’s a life-saving art and a source of joy. Our teaching philosophy revolves around three core principles:
Safety First: We prioritize safety above all else. Whether it’s teaching water survival skills to infants or refining strokes for advanced swimmers, safety remains our compass.
Individualized Approach: No two swimmers are alike. We tailor our lessons to each student’s needs, abilities, and comfort level. Whether you’re overcoming fear or aiming for competitive excellence, we’ve got a personalized plan for you.
Building Confidence: Water can be intimidating, especially for beginners. Our instructors create a supportive environment where confidence blossoms. We celebrate every milestone, from the first float to the perfect butterfly kick.

    We love Splashmates! My 1 year old and 3 year old love teacher Chantal! She is so kind and patient. My oldest is very cautious of the water but is getting braver and braver with every lesson! Couldn’t recommend it more
    Sinead McPhail
    Friendly and attentive staff, made my child who is very cautious of water,feel comfortable. The facilities are clean, indoor pool area is nice and warm during winter.An added bonus is the car guard outside. Looking forward to many more happy months at Splashmates.
    Zizipho Williams
    The teachers are very patient and know how to get the best out of the kids. Highly recommend taking advantage of lessons out of season, in the indoor heated pool to get best time slots in before the mad seasonal rush.
