Dolphins

Access for all swimming lessons for children with disabilities: our one-on-one lessons give children with disability the opportunity to enjoy aquatic activities and a chance to enjoy independent mobility.

These classes are 30 minutes long and ongoing, breaking for school holidays. Lessons include interaction with other students during lesson time.  This program offers a fantastic opportunity for the student to learn new lifetime skills and to improve physical fitness.

Students who participate in our program improve self-esteem, achieve personal goals and grow to have a great love of water.  We aim to teach water familiarisation, safety and swimming skills to ensure that our student’s full potential is achieved. Here is all the information about our Dolphin program:

Individual Swim Support Plan

Before your swimmer's first swimming lesson we will meet with you to create an Individual Swim Support Plan. The ISSP is a comprehensive document outlining adjustments, goals, and strategies tailored to meet each swimmer’s individual needs, ensuring they can thrive in our program.The ISSP will cover:

  • Student’s individual needs (likes, triggers, individual support needs)
  • Behaviours
  • Reasons for behaviours
  • Reasonable adjustments and support strategies
  • Student’s strengths
  • Medical information
  • Communication style
  • Collaborative goal setting

Here is the template we use in the meeting.
