Teaching swimming in Pretoria means working with Gauteng's intense summer heat, unpredictable thunderstorms, and the city's particular water quality challenges. Instructors manage chlorine levels carefully during heatwaves when evaporation peaks, adjust lesson timing around afternoon electrical storms that roll across the highveld, and work around load shedding periods when some facilities lose circulation. The altitude and temperature swings also affect how quickly students acclimate to water conditions. A well-run operation coordinates these variables—pool maintenance, weather patterns, and facility schedules—to ensure consistent, safe instruction throughout the season and year-round.
