SWIMMING LESSONS
FOR TABLE VIEW FAMILIES
5 minutes from Table View — professional swim coaching for kids and adults at Planet Fitness Parklands. Certified coaches, heated indoor pool, year-round training.
5 MINUTES FROM TABLE VIEW
For families based in Table View, Anax Swim Academy is a short and easy 5-minute drive up Parklands Main Road. From Table View, head north along Parklands Main Road and turn into the Lifestyle Centre at the junction with Links Drive — the Planet Fitness Parklands sign is clearly visible from the main road.
The whole journey avoids the N1 entirely, making it viable even during afternoon school-run traffic. Lessons run throughout the morning and evening, with popular after-school slots on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons.
Table View families also benefit from the same year-round indoor schedule — no cancelled classes due to wind or cold, which is a genuine advantage given the Cape's notorious south-easter season.

TABLE VIEW FAQ
Approximately 4–6 minutes by car. Head north on Parklands Main Road from Table View and turn into the Parklands Lifestyle Centre at Links Drive. There is no highway driving required.
Yes. We offer after-school slots from 15:30 onwards on weekdays, timed to allow for school collection and a short drive. Saturday morning classes are also very popular with Table View families.
School swimming gives broad water exposure, but class sizes are large and progression is slow. At Anax, smaller groups (max 6 per coach) mean your child gets stroke-specific coaching and moves through levels meaningfully faster. Most of our competitive squad swimmers started with school swimming and added Anax for structured development.
Yes — ample free parking in the Parklands Lifestyle Centre lot. No parking stress, even at peak after-school times.

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."
