Making Waves

Making Waves Swim School is a swimming school based in Gordon’s Bay, South Africa, serving learners from babies and toddlers through to adults. The school uses the SAI curriculum, with age-appropriate lessons designed to build essential aquatic skills, water safety and confidence before progressing to swimming strokes. Courses cater to beginners, stroke development and children with cognitive or physical challenges, with each swimmer advancing at an individual pace through colour-coded skill levels and defined benchmarks. Progress is recorded in a personal record book, helping parents follow their child’s development.

Lessons take place in an indoor, heated pool, enabling year-round swimming in all weather. Classes run during the week and on Saturdays, and enrolment is available at any time. Making Waves offers swimming programmes for children and adults, with online registration forms for both. The school also provides snorkelling and surfing introductions through its Snorkel & Surf offering. Based at Bluegum Avenue in Mountainside, Gordon’s Bay, the organisation invites prospective swimmers and families to enquire about suitable classes and pricing.
