Sensory Swimming Lessons are one-on-one lessons held in a calm, tailored environment.
These 30-minute classes are run outside of mainstream hours, for children aged 3 to 15 years of age. They are run with teachers who are very familiar with the needs of sensory sensitive swimmers.
When lessons are running lights will be low, there will be no music, the resources used to teach will be simple and signage will be up asking for a quiet atmosphere.
Clear signs will be used by the swim teachers to communicate to students what is happening now, next, and later in the lesson. Our swim teachers will also be comfortable with creating a routine for children attending the classes.
Our Sensory Swimming Lessons are award winning, receiving the Swim School Innovation Award (1001-2000 students) by NZSCTA in 2020. The New Zealand Swim Coaches and Teachers Association (NZSCTA) recognises contributions and achievements in the swimming industry.
In these lessons swimmers can expect personalised tuition by highly-trained staff in a calm environment.
