😠 If you and your child want to be treated like animals, then I would suggest this swimming school. The three of us (mon, dad and son (7)) eagerly drove all the way from Durbanville to the "best swimming school in the Cape" as noted by another reviewer.

    If you and your child want to be treated like animals, then I would suggest this swimming school. The three of us (mon, dad and son (7)) eagerly drove all the way from Durbanville to the "best swimming school in the Cape" as noted by another reviewer. The lady at reception told us that my son can go to the pool in the "middle". Being an ordinary kid and excited to start at a new school he went in the pool. Out of the blue, an old, white woman (one of the instructors apparently) started screaming at my son and asked him, in a very rude way, who told him to get in the pool? My poor son got such a fright! I explained to her that this is our first time here, but that was not enough for her. Needless to say I told her she was being rude and unprofessional. No parent will want to see their child get treated like that. I cannot say that the fact that we are Coloured had anything to do with it, since there were other Coloured parents there as well. I immediately cancelled the 8 lessons and another (Coloured) lady was gracious enough to provide a full refund. This was a most distasteful experience which I would not wish on any parent.

    After only 2 lessons I've decided that I can't put my kids through such abuse. Those ladies have no business teaching kids if they do not know how to speak to them like human beings. I have never been so upset in my entire life. The young lady in the beginner pool excluded.

    Never before have I been so humuliated! Arrived with my son for his swimmimg lesson, with my daughter to assist him. Didn't know that only parents could assist and not a sibling, even if they are 10+ years older. But did the owner (Vivienne) shout at me & my children, in front of everyone, children & parents. (HEY, HEY, ONLY PARENTS. CAN YOU SEE ONLY OTHER MOMS & DADS). Not sure how you manage a business with families as your clients if you behave like a savage!! I get your rules but your manners are absolutely shocking! No people skills or manners!! Non-traumatic approach - must be a joke. If there was an option for 0 stars...

    We really enjoy the personalised service that Kishan the owner offers all of his clients. STARS is Professional swimming school who understand my 3year old and his fears around water. The only reason we keep coming back is the service Kishan offers to his clients. You can see its not about the money for him. I can highly recommend them. The business has been refreshed under his leadership and I am another happy client ready to continue supporting Stars Swimming.

    Kishan is extremely helpful and accommodating and I am grateful for the valuable skills my daughter has learnt during her time at Stars. I highly recommend, and in fact, have recommended the Stars Team already.

    I had a fabulous time learning to swim Even the days when i was so nervous i would go and when i entered the pool wth coach Zayaan on my side she brought a calm over me Coach Zayaan had such a lot of patience with me it was really comforting and it made my lessons more and more exciting I unfortunately had 2 lessons with other coaches that was not so pleasant and comforting But then Coach Zayaan just made it better Also the admin group Lynn and Kishan were very understanding and accomodating I would recommend Star Swimmig School anytime Thankyou so much Star Team I thoroughly enjoyed my time with you Kind regards Shahnawaz

    I would highly recommend Stars Swimming School. My son has been attending for 2/3 years now and I have found the teachers to be knowledgeable, patient and very attentive. They have fully prepared him and given him a solid foundation to progress into a more competitive swimming environment.

    When I joined Stars swimming school I did not know how to swim or even float I had this fear of being in the water and now I can do all the strokes thanks to the amazing instructors of stars swimming school. I highly recommend this swimming school because they are patient with you and they will give you all the attention you need to get you comfortable in the water and perfect your strokes.
