SEN Swimming UK is on a mission to improve the quality and accessibility of swimming lessons for people with Special Educational Needs.

They are looking for parents of SEN children of all ages to complete their survey:

This short survey aims to understand current swimming experiences, especially where lessons may not fully meet the needs of swimmers with additional needs. The feedback will help highlight gaps in current provision and support the development of better, more inclusive training for swimming teachers.

Staff have been building their knowledge around supporting people with learning disabilities and autism, sharing best practice on reasonable adjustments, sensory processing, and the diverse ways autism and learning disabilities can present.
