Swim With Me

Swimming lessons for all ages in Essex.

How it can help

Swimming lessons are a life skill. It can be beneficial for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Here are some key advantages:

  • physical development: helps improve balance, coordination, and motor skills. The resistance of the water helps build muscle tone and strength
  • sensory benefits: water offers a sensory experience that can be calming and enjoyable. This can be particularly beneficial for children with sensory processing issues
  • confidence and independence: learning to swim can boost confidence and sense of independence. Mastering new skills in the water can translate to increased self-esteem on land
  • water safety skills: which are crucial for all children, especially those with SEND
  • social interaction: group lessons offer time to interact and make friends. This can improve social skills and reduce feelings of isolation
  • emotional well-being: help to reduce anxiety and improve emotional well-being
