Founded in 1999, Starfish Swim School has been a pillar of the Midrand community, helping swimmers of all ages and skill levels discover the joy of swimming. Our mission is to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where every swimmer can achieve their personal best.
Starfish Swim School was established by Cathy Cronje, a lifelong swimmer with a deep passion for teaching. With over 23 years of experience in the field, Cathy has developed a unique teaching style that blends technical expertise with a nurturing approach. Her commitment to fostering a love of swimming in every student is at the heart of everything we do.
At Starfish Swim School, we believe that learning to swim should be a positive and enjoyable experience. We focus on encouraging our students through fun, interactive methods that build confidence and skill without pressure. Whether you’re a nervous beginner or an aspiring competitive swimmer, our personalized lessons are designed to meet your needs and help you thrive.
We specialize in stroke development, stroke correction, and junior squad training, but our expertise extends to all aspects of swimming education. From infants taking their first splash to adults perfecting their technique, we offer lessons that cater to every stage of the swimming journey. Our small class sizes ensure that each swimmer receives the attention they need to succeed.
At Starfish Swim School, we’re more than just a swim school – we’re a community. Our swimmers, parents, and instructors form a supportive network that celebrates each other’s achievements and milestones. We take pride in the strong relationships we build with our students and their families, and we’re dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome.
Whether you’re looking to build confidence in the water, refine your strokes, or prepare for competition, Starfish Swim School is here to guide you. Join us and become part of a community that values learning, growth, and the pure joy of swimming.
