“But I already know how to swim!” 😄 We hear this more often than you might imagine - but being able to get from one end of the pool to the other and swimming with correct, efficient technique are two very different things.

A trained swim instructor notices the details a swimmer may not: the timing of a breath, body position, hand entry, kick, and the small habits that can affect an entire stroke.

There’s also a lesson that goes beyond the pool. Whether we’re six or sixty, learning requires us to be teachable: to listen, practise, accept correction, and understand that there’s always something more to learn.

Even the best swimmers in the world still have someone watching their technique.

Give your swimmer the benefit of an experienced eye. Contact MySwim to book an assessment:

Some weeks, swimming just clicks. Other weeks… not so much. 🏊‍♂️ That’s OKAY!

It’s okay if your baby happily splashed through last week’s lesson but is clingy or unsettled today. It’s okay if your child mastered a side breath and suddenly struggles with it the following week. It’s okay if you’re an adult learner and something you thought you’d finally mastered suddenly feels difficult again.

It’s okay to be tired, distracted, nervous, frustrated, or simply not in the mood. It’s okay if someone else seems to be progressing faster… and yes, sometimes a lesson might even come with a few tears.

Learning isn’t a perfectly straight line at any age. A difficult lesson doesn’t erase the progress that came before it. Skills develop through practice, repetition, encouragement, and plenty of good days and not-so-good ones.

Whether you’re watching your little one from the side of the pool or learning to swim yourself, sometimes the best thing you can bring to a lesson is a little patience.

At MySwim, we look at progress over time, not perfection in every lesson.💦

You can’t see where you’re going, your ears are underwater, and somehow you’re expected to swim in a straight line. 😄 Welcome to backstroke!

Backstroke may look relaxed, but good technique requires plenty of coordination. A strong body position keeps the swimmer high in the water, while a consistent kick, controlled arm rotation, and steady rhythm all work together to create an efficient stroke.

One of the common mistakes we see is swimmers lifting or tucking their head to try to see where they’re going. The problem? Where the head goes, the body tends to follow. Keeping the head relaxed and still helps maintain a better body position and reduces unnecessary resistance.

Our tip 💦 look straight up, relax your neck, and let your body do the work.

Whether backstroke is a brand-new skill, the stroke your child just can’t quite master, or something that needs refining ahead of school swimming and galas, technique matters.
Need an experienced eye on your swimmer’s backstroke? Get in touch with MySwim and let’s work on it together.

We teach swimming. Our swimmers provide the entertainment. 😂💦

There are some conversations at MySwim that are simply too good not to share. Here's what we've overheard from our 5 and 6 year olds this month:

💬 "Finish quickly, I need to go to the petrol station and buy a toy."
💬 "If milk goes bad, why doesn't it go bad in the cow?"
💬 "It's like driving a car."
💬 And perhaps the most relatable of them all: "Our brains are on holiday."

Fair enough. We have days like that too. 😂

Between the kicking, bubbles, strokes, and serious business of learning to swim, there is never a dull moment at MySwim. Parents, it's your turn! What's the funniest thing your little swimmer has said lately? Join the conversation and tell us in the comments below. 👇

There are plenty of things that make us proudly South African: sunny skies, braais that last all afternoon, fiercely debated rugby and soccer, family gatherings, and kids who will find a reason to get into the pool the second the weather warms up. 🇿🇦☀️💦

This Heritage Day, we’re celebrating all the different people, families, stories, and traditions that make our country what it is - and the wonderful MySwim community that brings a little bit of all of that together under one roof.

However you’re spending the public holiday, we hope there’s good food, great company, plenty of laughter and, if the Joburg weather plays along, maybe even a splash or two...

Happy Heritage Day from all of us at MySwim! 💙🇿🇦

Please remember that MySwim is closed on public holidays. We’ll see our swimmers back in the pool after the break.

🐸 Smooth, powerful, and all about timing: this month, we’re talking breaststroke. 💦

It may look effortless when it’s done well, but breaststroke is one of those strokes where the little details make a big difference. The pull, kick, body position, breathing, and glide all need to work together in the right rhythm.

Sometimes, it’s the stroke a swimmer just can’t seem to master.

Perhaps your child is preparing for a school gala and needs some stroke correction to improve their technique and efficiency. Or maybe breaststroke is simply the one stroke that hasn’t quite clicked yet. That’s where focused instruction can make all the difference. Our tip? Don’t skip the glide. That brief streamlined moment after each kick allows the movement you’ve created to carry you forward. Rush it, and you can use a lot of energy without travelling very far!

At MySwim, we don’t just teach swimmers the four strokes. We help them understand the mechanics, correct technique that may be holding them back, and refine their swimming as they progress. 🏊

School gala coming up? A stroke that needs some work? Let’s get your swimmer ready. Contact MySwim to find the right lesson for their needs:

Every lesson at MySwim tells a different story. One child is taking their very first splash, another is learning to swim independently, while a more experienced swimmer is refining their technique ahead of the next gala. We also welcome adults who have decided it's never too late to learn or overcome a lifelong fear of the water.

And somewhere along the way, friendships are formed too. 💙 Children look forward to seeing their swim buddies each week, encouraging one another and celebrating each other's progress. Our adults experience it too, with swimmers in our 10-lesson programme often forming a wonderful bond as they learn, laugh, and tackle new challenges together.

Although every swimmer arrives with different goals, ages, and experiences, they all share one thing in common: they take that important first step into the very same pool.

Being part of these journeys is one of the greatest privileges of what we do. Watching skills develop, milestones being reached, friendships grow, and smiles get bigger with every lesson is why we love what we do.

Whether you're looking for lessons for your baby, child, or yourself, we'd love to welcome you to the MySwim family. Contact us today to book your complimentary assessment or introductory lesson and let your swimming story begin. 💦

If you've spent any time at swimming lessons, you've probably said at least one of these...
💬 "Please tell me you packed your goggles!"
💬 "Please don't jump in before your lesson starts!"
💬 "We are NOT buying another swim cap?"

30 minutes later….
💬 "High five! I'm so proud of you."
💬 "I promise, we'll come back next week."

And at home…
💬 "Whose towel is this???"

Swimming lessons become part of family life, and somehow, there's always a funny story to tell. What's something you've caught yourself saying before swimming lessons? We'd love to hear it in the comments! 😄
