ROYAL FINS Aquatics

About us

Royal Fins Aquatics, a swimming school, established in Faerie Glen in 2014 by the Luus family, who are all passionate swimmers, aims to teach the community the value of swimming as a vital skill which benefits individuals for a lifetime. We teach water safety and water skills development to students who also have loads of fun in the water in a safe and positive environment.

Our friendly coaches are qualified with Swimming South Africa, the governing body of aquatics in South Africa, and have a love for each student. They help individuals of all ages to gain confidence in the water which extends into a student’s everyday life too. Their hands-on approach, professional guidelines and support, encourages and motivates students to achieve their swimming goals.

The team at Roya Fins Aquatics love to celebrate each swimmer’s accomplishments frequently, praising our students and sharing the joy and pride when they reach a milestone. We encourage students to swim at age appropriate levels and provide the appropriate swimming method for each development stage. Our coaches are patient and understanding with any child who takes slightly longer to grasp a technique and understand that each child progresses at their own pace.

At our Indoor Pool (12 x 5 metres x 1 metre deep) we provide Learn to Swim Classes of 20 minutes for individuals of all ages starting from six months old. At our Big Pool (25 x 15 metres x 2 metres deep) we offer Stroke Correction Classes of 30 minutes for six to eight year olds; Intermediate Classes of one hour for nine to 13 year olds; Senior Classes of one to two hours for 10 to 18 year olds and Masters Classes of one to two hours for teens and adults.

Royal Fins Aquatics provides a range of water events including our Fun Galas held once a month in the summer months where children from four years and older compete against other swim schools. We hold a Water Safety Week, usually in April and October, to teach children water safety where they have the opportunity to learn to swim with their clothes on. The school also provides Water Volleyball and Underwater Hockey lessons and is open for Public Swimming between 08:30 to 13:30 Monday to Friday.

Now that you know a little more about our team, we hope that you will help your child learn the importance of swimming by enrolling them with us. We can’t wait to get to know you and get your child swimming happily and confidently soon!
