Our Story

Oceanfit Cape Town® was founded out of a deep love for ocean swimming and a commitment to helping others discover the joys and benefits of being in the water. Our journey began when coach Karen moved to Cape Town to turn her lifelong love for swimming into a meaningful new career, coaching a sport she is deeply passionate about. She brings a wealth of knowledge gained over a lifetime of swimming and decades of serving on various swimming committees.
“Coaching swimming, a sport I have always been wildly passionate about, has opened up a world of possibilities I never imagined possible. In the stunningly diverse and culturally rich city of Cape Town, I have found my true calling. The joy I experience from helping adults unlock their potential in the water, witnessing their growth and confidence, and being part of their transformative journey is beyond words, and my greatest reward.”
