This class is for Teenagers and young adults with Special Needs learning to swim.
I use the principles of the Shaw Method of swimming. which is all about learning to swim stress free with good alignment of the Head, Neck and back.
I also use some of the concepts from the Halliwick Method of Swimming.
- Mental Adjustment
- Rotation
- Up Thrust
- Balance Control
- Turbulent Gliding
I find these two methods work well together, giving good foundations for building confidence and learning to swim.
These lessons are designed for those that are unable to attend other Aquatherapy classes.
Each swimmer must be accompanied by either their parent or career to help support them in the water, as I don’t use floatation aids. These put people of balance, out of alignment, inhibits movement and gives a false sense of the water.
The adult supporting the swimmer is also being taught what support to give as and when is necessary, so that they can practice safely together at their leisure.
These classes run during term time only.
Up to 10 swimmers in each class.
Next term starts Friday 24/4
6.45pm – 7.15pm doors open at 6.30pm
It is a 6 week course and costs £78 per swimmer
