Hiya,
my daughter is 8, she loves swimming!
However, the standard swimmming lessons pools offer aren't sutibke for her needs, she has to wear a protective brief as she has bowel issues. And children are children so I know comments and questions will be asked (esp by children who don't know her).
can anybody suggest pools or swim schools that offer lessons for children with Asd/high functioning autism.
I'm in the borough of croydon, Surrey.
many thanks Amanda
I hope you have found somewhere by now. I googled disabled swimming Surrey and it came up with a few websites... so I hope there is something suitable.
Hi, thank you for your suggestion. I'm still looking so will look on google.
I hope you find something. Some of the sports centres have sports and swimming designed for the "disabled " unfortunately it is yet another postcode lottery and where one council provides a wide range of opportunities others do not. Some are aimed specifically for different age groups children, teens or adults. You may well find other things in addition to the swimming that she can enjoy.
