Educating swim teachers and allied health professionals by expanding their knowledge, understanding and practical skills when teaching all students, in particular, students with additional needs and challenging behaviours.

Who is it for

Swim teachers who prefer cost-effective, self-directed online learning and who are seeking skills to confidently support children of all abilities including:

• Autism spectrum

• ADHD

• Processing delays

• Sensitivities

• Undiagnosed challenges

Ideal for individual, dedicated swim teachers seeking information and skills to:

• Reduce stress levels.

• Build confidence.

• Know what to say and do when children present with behaviors requiring extra support.

• Improve lesson impact/management.

• Ensure inclusiveness.

Ideal for allied health professionals (such as occupational therapists and physiotherapists) curious about integrating aquatic strategies into therapy for those with additional needs in collaboration with swim instructors.

Why this matters now

Neurodiversity is increasing, and some behaviors may be a challenge to accommodate in standard lesson structures. As family and community expectations rise, professionals must communicate in ways that demonstrate skills and professionalism. Staying informed builds confidence and allows for greater impact while maintaining low stress. Extending classes beyond traditional teaching approaches is necessary as parental, carer, and managerial expectations grow, and this training helps maintain both confidence and clarity.
