Every child deserves the chance to feel safe and free in the water. Our Make a Difference program offers swimming lessons designed for children with additional needs, at our warm indoor pool in Oakhurst.

Qualified, patient instructors

Our instructors are Royal Life Saving Society and AUSTSWIM qualified in special needs aquatics, and many come from teaching or medical backgrounds. Lessons build skills and confidence in a calm, stress-free environment.

Benefits of swimming for children with additional needs

  • Freedom of movement: water supports the body and reduces gravity's limits

  • Improved fitness, muscle strength and coordination

  • Relaxation and reduced anxiety

  • Confidence and self-esteem in and out of the pool

  • Vital water safety skills

Can I use NDIS funding?

Funding depends on your child's individual plan. If you are self-managed or plan-managed, talk to your plan manager or support coordinator about whether swimming lessons fit your plan goals, then call us to discuss your child's needs.
