About Us - Who is MySwim

Our Company

MySwim is based in Northriding, Johannesburg, centrally located and easily accessible from the surrounding areas. The swimming school boasts two heated indoor pools, one 15m pool and a smaller 8m pool. Lessons are conducted year-round.

The swimming school was founded in 2010 by Joanne Vreenegoor. Joanne is a Zimbabwe swimming colours holder, South African Masters swimming colours and record holder, and Swimming South Africa Learn to Swim instructor. With an extensive background in aquatics as both swimmer and instructor, she is passionate about the sport of swimming, and believes everyone should be water safe! Joanne believes “technique is key to ensuring a comfortable and efficient stroke.” She is qualified as a Basic Life Support (BLS) Medic, and also teaches CPR and First Aid.

Our Pools

MySwim boasts 2 x heated swimming pools.
Our "big" pool measures 15m x 5m, is 1m deep, and is kept at a minimum temperature of 30 degrees. Learn to Swim classes, Stroke Lessons and Adult swimming sessions are taught in this pool.
The "little" pool measures 8m x 3.7m, is 1m deep, and is kept at a minimum temperature of 31 degrees. This pool is primarily for our Baby & Todler Swim classes, and some of our younger swimmers.

Depending on the day/time and the demands of the teaching schedule, the pool configurations change allowing greater flexibility in the teaching spaces across all lesson types. The pool temperatures are maintained year-round and provide an ideal learning environment for all clients. Being comfortable in the water allows for improved concentration and quicker mastering of skills in the pool.

The pools are tested twice daily and dosed (based on test results). Keeping the pools at optimal swimming conditions at all times is of utmost importance! Both pools are Chlorine sanitised.
