"My name is Jo-Anne Grobler, and I have always strived to build a business centered around family.
JoJo Swimming Academy was established in 2010. After completing my psychology and marketing studies, I knew I wanted to work with children, but I wasn’t sure in which field. Then, my brother handed me some "Learn to Swim" documentation and said, ‘just go investigate.’ Fourteen years later, I am in the happiest place of my life.
I believe that if, as a teacher, I can offer the same sense of love, safety, comfort, and confidence that I give my own children, I can help every individual who joins our academy.
My motto is: "Continuous growth in a safe, fun, and learning environment."
When children can express themselves in a space where they feel safe and can learn through play, they not only thrive but reach their personal goals faster. This is the core mission of JoJo Swimming Academy.
Helping, teaching, and loving are part of my DNA.
We are proudly associated with The Darcey Sunshine Foundation—a wonderful way to give back to the community and help those in need.

This isn’t just my job; it’s me living my dream!"

Testimonials
Denissa Riekert
I am beyond thrilled and deeply grateful for the transformative experience my son has had so far at JoJo Swimming. After spending six months at another swimming school with little to no progress, I was concerned about his ability to grasp even the basic skills. However, within just three sessions at JoJo, I witnessed an extraordinary improvement in both his swimming abilities and his confidence. Jo's approach to teaching is nothing short of remarkable. Her unique blend of friendliness, unwavering patience, and the ability to make every lesson enjoyable for the kids is truly exceptional. She has a gift for connecting with children, turning what could be a daunting task into a fun and exciting adventure. The progress my son has made under Jo's guidance has exceeded all my expectations. It’s clear that Jo is not only passionate about teaching but is also incredibly skilled at it. I am confident that my second child will be just as successful when he join JoJo Swimming in the future, and I wholeheartedly recommend Jo to any parent looking for an outstanding swimming instructor. She is simply the best!
Bianca König
My daughter lost all confidence in her swimming ability after she fell into the pool one day and went straight to the bottom. We then joined Jo-Jo swimming with Claudia and my daughter not only built up her confidence again but also found her absolute LOVE for swimming. It's all thanks to Claudia's gentle teaching techniques and love for her learners. I will be forever grateful for what Jo and Claudia have done for my daughter.
