Welcome to duck 'n' dive, a kid's swim school, where we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joy and benefits of swimming. In line with our commitment to inclusivity, we are proud to offer dedicated SEN (Special Educational Needs) and disability swimming sessions.

Importance of inclusive swimming sessions

Swimming is not just a recreational activity; it's a life skill that promotes physical fitness, confidence, and social interaction. However, traditional swimming programs may not always cater to the diverse needs of all children. That's why inclusive swimming sessions are crucial in ensuring that every child, regardless of ability, has access to quality swim instruction.

What Are SEN and disability swimming sessions?

SEN and disability swimming sessions are specially designed programs that cater to children with a wide range of physical, cognitive, and sensory impairments. These sessions provide a supportive and adapted environment where children can learn and enjoy swimming at their own pace.

Benefits of SEN and disability swimming sessions

Improved physical health. Swimming is an excellent form of low-impact exercise that helps improve strength, coordination, and cardiovascular health.
 
Enhanced confidence. For children with disabilities, mastering new skills in the water can be incredibly empowering and boost self-esteem.
 
Social interaction. Inclusive swimming sessions provide opportunities for children to socialise, make friends, and develop important social skills.
 
Sense of achievement. Achieving goals and milestones in swimming can foster a sense of accomplishment and pride in children with SEN and disabilities.

Our SEN and disability swimming sessions are led by experienced and compassionate instructors who have undergone specialised training in inclusive swim instruction.
