Learn to Swim - Kiddies Aqua Swimming

The Kiddies Aqua Swimming Academy was established in 2011 by Lizette and Arrie Botha. They previously owned Aqua Kid Swim School in Nelspruit for more than 17 years before Lizette became the Head Coach at Ryk Neethling’s swim school in Pretoria for three years. She is celebrating her 32nd anniversary as a swimming teacher this year.

Lizette and Jean Fouace (Switzerland) are the founder members of Amphibies Babies Africa. Jean is the pioneer and original developer of the Self-Rescue Water Safety Method for Babies in the world since 1967. Kiddies Aqua Swimming Academy remains the largest swimming academy for infants and toddlers in South Africa. All three franchisees, Rhoné Reynders (Alberton), Maresa Scholtz (Cape Town) and Nandi Smit (Centurion) completed a 400-hour training course through Lizette to qualify as Baby Floating Instructors.
