Snappy Swim School

Special Needs Aquatic Program for Pre-school Years onwards

We offer a new concept in swimming lessons for people with disabilities in the Hills District (New South Wales, Australia).

At Snappy Swim school we believe that affordable water safety lessons are essential for all. We have found that for people with disabilities, whether physical or intellectual, this is not always possible, be it due to a lack of resources, training or knowledge or a combination of all of these factors.

We are now running carer / child group classes for children ranging from 6 months up to school age. These classes will provide the opportunity for your child to learn water safety skills in a fun, stimulating environment with the security of you or an alternative carer in the water with them. In this way you will be able to enjoy the lesson with your child and we will teach you how to expand what we do in the class to assist your child with water confidence.

Your child will learn valuable safety skills but will also have the opportunity to make friends and you will be able to network with children and parents sharing similar life experiences.

For school age and adults we will be starting programs in Term 1, 2008 for learn to swim all the way up to squads. Please see our class details page for further information regarding times. Our aim is to run classes with two students in each class. This way the students learn from modeling off each other but more importantly they have social interaction which is not always possible in private one on one classes. For squad level we will be running a junior level and a senior level in a 25m heated outdoor pool.

All of our teachers are Austswim qualified and have experience in teaching children with disabilities ranging from small children all the way up to adults.

Please see our timetable page for class times and location.
