Children With Special Needs - Make a Difference!

To provide children with special needs the opportunity and confidence to explore and extend their abilities in Swimming
Our Make a Difference Program is designed specifically for people with special needs. Our friendly instructors are Austswim qualified in special needs aquatics & we offer you an opportunity to enjoy the water, and experience the relaxation and amazing freedom that swimming has to offer. Water based activities offer many benefits for people with special needs....

• There are no gravity restrictions in the water and limited mobility swimmers experience an amazing freedom & weightlessness in the pool. Water gives a wonderful feeling of deep relaxation.
• Swimming helps to improve cardio-respiratory fitness, muscular strength, and helps reduce body fat. Exercise also helps with confidence and self-esteem and reduces risk of injury

Group Lesson

If children are able to be integrated into a mainstream class, max class size is reduced by one.  If you are unable to make your lesson and notify the swim school in advance, we will endeavour to offer you an alternative lesson. We are, however, unable to guarantee that the group class size will be reduced in an alternative lesson.

Private Lesson

Where a private lesson is necessary, we can provide a one on one swimming lesson. The teacher will focus exclusively on your preferences for activities including swimming & stroke development, aquatic exercise, movement in water & relaxation. Carers welcome at no extra charge.
