S.E.N.D Swimming Lessons
We are delighted to be able to now offer SEN swimming lessons for children and adults. Our SEN lessons are designed to make access and learning to swim open to all, to ensure everyone gets the opportunity to learn the amazing skill of being able to swim.
All our teachers have a vested interest in delivering these lessons and have had specific training to be able to deliver the swim lessons.
The lessons are provided in small groups and a parent or carer is required to get into the water with their child until the child has settled. Lessons are tailored to suit certain needs every 30 minutes this is to help aid the children and teachers to deliver a relevant and specific lesson.
