According to Busi Zibi, marketing officer for Curro Fourways, Chartwell, and Bryanston: “Swimming is an essential life skill that fosters water safety, confidence, and co-ordination.
“Recognising the importance of early exposure to swimming, we integrate weekly swimming lessons into our curriculum programme, included in the school fees at no additional cost to parents.”
These lessons provide a fun and interactive way for learners to develop fundamental swimming techniques, such as navigation, discipline, and perseverance.

The preschools are committed to ensuring that each child enjoys their time in the water while gaining valuable skills that will serve them throughout their lives.
