SWIMMING LESSONS FOR
PINEHURST & NEW DEVELOPMENT FAMILIES
Oakwood Village, Northwood Village, Hillwood Village, Jade Grove, Stonepine Crescent and Primefontaine — all within minutes of Anax Swim Academy at Planet Fitness Durbanville.
PINEHURST & THE NORTHERN DEVELOPMENT CORRIDOR
The Pinehurst mega-development hub is one of the fastest-growing residential nodes in the Northern Suburbs — and it's generating a large, young family population that needs quality sporting infrastructure quickly. Anax Swim Academy's Durbanville centre is the natural swim school for this corridor.
Families in Oakwood Village, Northwood Village, Hillwood Village, Jade Grove, Stonepine Crescent, and Primefontaine are within 5–10 minutes of the pool, making weekly lessons a low-effort, high-value routine. Our Little Splashers program, starting from 3 years, is perfectly timed for the demographic moving into these developments.
As the area grows, Anax grows with it: more class slots, competitive pathways, and adult programs for the parents who want to swim alongside their children.

What Our Families Say
Hear from the parents and swimmers who've made Anax Swim Academy part of their family's journey.
"Nadine is exceptional — our daughter went from being terrified of the water to swimming laps confidently in just 3 months. The individual attention is unlike anything we've experienced. This isn't just a swim school, it's a place where genuine confidence is built."
"My son has been competing in Western Cape meets and placing well — the Anax training is clearly top-level. Coach Nadine knows exactly when to push and when to support. His times have improved dramatically."
"I joined as an adult beginner — no swimming skills whatsoever. The patience and professionalism made all the difference. Within 2 months I was doing laps confidently. Highly recommend for adults too!"
"Both my kids attend. The heated indoor pool at Planet Fitness is brilliant — no more freezing winter lessons! Coach Nadine is wonderful with little ones, so patient and encouraging. Worth every rand."
"I've trained at several clubs around Cape Town. Anax stands apart — the coaching quality, the structured sessions, the genuine care for improvement. Nadine sees things other coaches miss."
