Our Facility

Splash Co’s pool is designed to create the perfect environment for all levels – from babies and beginners to advanced swimmers and scuba trainees.

This combination makes Splash Co one of Randburg’s most versatile and professional swimming facilities – ideal for both learning and aquatic recreation.

How We Teach

We keep things calm, consistent, and clear – with 30-minute lessons, gentle progressions, and no forced underwater submersion for children. Confidence first; technique follows. Class ratios remain small so every swimmer gets individual feedback and moves forward at a comfortable pace.
