At MAC Swim School, we believe swimming is more than just a skill — it’s a life-changing experience. Founded and passionately led by Karen Oakley, our school has grown into one of Alberton’s most trusted swim schools, loved by children and parents alike.
Our mission is simple: to help every child feel confident, safe, and empowered in the water. Whether it’s their very first splash or they’re refining their strokes, our team of dedicated instructors provides a nurturing environment where each swimmer thrives.
From babies to adults, our swimmers don’t just learn to swim — they build confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love for the water.
Join the MAC Swim School family, and watch your child dive into greatness!
We have been swimming with MAC Swim School for almost ten years. My eldest daughter, Lexie, started at 9 months and is now a very successful provincial swimmer. Lexie has been swimming for her school A-Team for the last 3 years, due to the coaching she gets at MAC Swim School. My youngest daughter, Vicky, also started at 9 months and is now competing with the juniors. Both my daughters are very happy in the water and love MAC Swim School and ALL their coaches. The pool is always clean and inviting, the atmosphere is welcoming and fun!”
We have a lot to thank the awesome team at MAC Swim School for! My daughter Kelly has always been a water baby, but her love for swimming has grown even more from all her lessons & galas that she has enjoyed! Her coach, Bronwen, has had so much patience, working out new ways to get the best out of her talents. I also joined the adults swimming & really enjoy my workouts, trying to go as often as I can. We really appreciate all that MAC Swim School have done for us & highly recommend the swim school.”
We have been a part of the MAC Swim School family for almost 10 years now. My children started from baby classes and the learn to swim class, and are now swimming in gala’s and doing very well. The teachers are all so caring towards the children, and they help the children fall in love with the water, and to never be afraid of it. What’s great is the school is not limited to children only, they have classes for the adults too. I’m not much of a swimmer, but I joined their Aqua Aerobics classes 3 years ago, which is lots of fun, albeit hard work. We love MAC Swim School and the friends we have made. We could never imagine swimming anywhere else.”
I used to be a runner for many years, until my back gave in. With no strength in my legs and plenty of pain, I visited all kinds of doctors with no results. I was advised to start swimming, so I joined MAC Swim School, telling the teachers of my problem. With plenty of encouragement, help and perseverance from all the coaches and teachers at MAC Swim School, I can proudly say from not being able to swim 5m’s I can now swim 2km’s, although be it slowly. Thanks a million to one and all at MAC Swim School!”
We have been fortunate enough to swim with MAC Swim School since September 2010. My son was only 7 months old. We are part of the family! The teachers have been with us through all our ups and downs. All the instructors at MAC Swim School cultivate a love for the sport in my kids through games and technique. They absolutely love swimming and excel in this area of their life.
I always recommend them because its not just about swimming with them, but also about supporting the family in every way they can.”
