Hi! I’m Heather,

Meet Anna:

Hi, I am Anna Blinda Manyati. l am 32 years old, and l have two children – a girl and a boy. I lived and worked in Pretoria before coming to Cape Town in December 2025. I have worked at the SPAR Supermarket and as a nanny before joining Headstart in Dec 2025 as the Swim School Assistant. I am also learning to swim at Headstart and really enjoy my lessons!

Water safety starts with awareness 💦

May is recognized globally as Water Safety & Drowning Prevention Month. A reminder that swimming is more than just a sport or a skill, it’s a life-saving essential. 🌊

At Headstart Swim School, we’re passionate about building confidence in and around the water while teaching skills that can save lives. Every lesson counts. 🐬

Meet our instructors: Sharne

I was a competitive swimmer and absolutely loved it. Sharing my knowledge, experiences, and passion for swimming with others is something I deeply enjoy. I’m motivated by seeing the progress in the kids I teach, knowing that I’m helping them grow both in and out of the water.
Beyond the pool, I cherish spending time with my family, staying active, and relaxing with my dogs. I also enjoy reading and indulging in a little retail therapy.
I’m passionate about giving back to the community and have a strong interest in working with underprivileged children. I believe that everyone deserves the chance to learn and grow through sports. Additionally, I am eager to further my studies to enhance my skills and knowledge, ensuring that I provide best possible guidance and support to those I teach.

Swimming progress doesn’t only happen during lessons 🏊✨

Here are 3 simple ways parents can support their swimmer:

👏 Celebrate small wins: Confidence grows with encouragement.
⏰ Be consistent with lessons: Regular practice helps skills improve faster.
😊 Keep pool time positive: Happy swimmers learn better!

Every swimmer develops at their own pace so support and patience make a big difference 💦🐬

Pool rules = safe & happy swimmers! 🐠💦

3 water safety rules every swimmer should remember:

🛟 Always swim with an adult: Swimming is safer (and more fun!) with a grown-up nearby.

👋 Stop & Ask First: Always ask before going near the pool or jumping in.

💙 Keep your hands to yourself: No pushing, splashing, or rough play around the water.

Learning to swim starts with learning to stay safe 🌊✨

Meet our instructors:

Hi I’m Jess,
I have loved being in water since I first learned to swim and I feel at home in the water whether it be in a pool or the ocean. I swam competitively throughout high school and still swim for exercise in my free time. I believe swimming is such an important life skill, and I’m all about creating a fun, relaxed, safe atmosphere for kids to become confident swimmers 🏊‍♀️💧💙

Hard work looks different for everyone… for us, it’s counted in laps, bubbles and tired arms 🏊‍♀️

Behind every smooth stroke is discipline, consistency, and a whole lot of unseen effort.

Today we celebrate the work on land and in the water 💙
Keep showing up. Keep putting in the work.
