My name is Zuleika Pretorius, and I am a dedicated swimming instructor with more than 7 years of experience in teaching young children, particularly those between the ages of 2 and 8. I possess a Level 2 qualification in swimming instruction, focusing on water safety and helping children develop a lifelong enthusiasm for swimming.
In addition to my swimming expertise, I am also a qualified Montessori Directress and have a background in Early Childhood Development (ECD).

I firmly believe that swimming is an essential life skill that also brings immense joy and camaraderie among young swimmers.
