Spring into Swimming: Why September is the Best Time to Start Spring Swimming Lessons at Zogs
- Grant Zoghby
As South Africa moves into spring, September is the perfect time to refresh routines, set new goals, and get your little one confident in the water before the summer rush with spring swimming lessons. At Zogs Swim School, we believe that early spring is the secret to swimming success – and here is why.
1. Beat the Summer Rush with spring swimming lessons
By enrolling in September, your child gets a head start. Instead of waiting for the December scramble:
- You secure a convenient time slot
- Your child is already confident and progressing
- There’s no need to “catch up” when the heat kicks in
- Early swimmers become strong swimmers.
2. The Perfect Weather for Progress
September brings warmer days, making it easier for little ones to transition into swim lessons—especially if they are new to the water. Our pool is already warm and enclosed, so there is no need to wait for full summer weather to start.
3. It is the Ideal Time for Beginners
Whether it is your child’s first swim class or a return after a break, spring is ideal for building routine and confidence before the festive season. We recommend starting with:
- Water Confidence classes for little ones
- Learn to Swim for beginners and nervous swimmers
- Our instructors provide gentle, supportive lessons that help kids feel comfortable at their own pace.
4. Smooth Transitions Start with Preparation
New to swimming? Here’s how to prepare your little one for success this September:
- Get excited at bath time: Splash, float toys, and blow bubbles
- Talk about the pool positively: Show them videos or photos of kids swimming at Zogs
- Visit the swim school ahead of your first lesson
- Pack a swim bag together (see our upcoming checklist blog!)
- These simple steps help reduce anxiety and turn swim day into something to look forward to.
5. It is an Investment in Water Safety Before the Holidays
South African summers mean pool parties, beach days, and water play. Enrolling now means your child will be:
- More aware of water safety
- Skilled enough to swim or float independently
- More confident around other children in water
- And that gives parents peace of mind heading into the festive season.
