Mother and Daughter Team
With some 35yrs of teaching experience, as well as swimming competitively and achieving selection to swim for the National Zambian team, it was a natural desire to use my experience to teach others. Imparting my knowledge and experience to my daughter Lianne, who joined Pinelands Swimming Academy as an instructor in 2010 where we can work as a team, is simply a dream come true.
WHAT A GREAT TEAM!
Together, we believe that swimming lessons should be fun with no tears focused on enjoyment as well as progression.
Bev & Lianne are registered with Swimming S.A. and Cape Town Metro Aquatics, CPR and 1st Aid qualified, and attend yearly workshops to keep up to date with trends and new methods.

TODSWIM
Learning to swim is such an important life skill, and the earlier you expose your child to swimming the more confident and natural they will feel in and around water, giving them a solid foundation and teaching them the correct skills they need to become water confident.

What Parents Say
“A fantastic swimming school, Bev and Lianne are wonderful with my children and I will continue to recommend them to friends”
“Lianne and Bev at PSA are just amazing. They take such special care with and pay individual attention to each child. My children love going to swimming lessons and their swimming skills have developed tremendously, despite us not having a pool of our own. I am delighted with PSA and recommend them without reserve.”
Bev and Lianne offer 20 minute one on one lessons or max 2 per class. Our children have learnt to swim well so quickly and are relaxed in the pool. I think Bev and Lianne have given them the best chance at swimming success!
Bev and Lianne really have the best recipe. They are very precise in their goals and expectations. The environment is orderly and controlled and most importantly safe. There is also an emphasis on correct styles and strokes which is so important. My children love going there and love the progress they make.
Bev is absolutely brilliant! She taught both my daughter and son to swim who are now 14 and 12. I wish I could have brought her to Durban with me to teach my now 3 year old to swim.
