Learn To Swim Programme for children with SEN
Mon 09 Sep 2024Dear parents/carers,
Please see the information below regarding swimming lessons for children with SEN in Bexley. For further information, please contact the leisure centre staff directly.
Kind regards
The School Office
Good Morning,
I hope you had a lovely summer break.
I wanted to reach out to make you aware of some funding the three Leisure Centres in the Bexley Contract have recently acquired for our Learn To Programme for children with SEN.
Adaptive Swimming Lessons are for children who require additional support in their swimming journey. They are taught with their parent/guardian/carer supporting them in the water in a small group of up to six swimmers. Each child can work at their own pace within a safe and structured environment and have fun whilst developing the core aquatic skills.
We are aware that more often than not extracurricular activities can be more expensive due to extra provision needed for these children but we are passionate that Learning To Swim is a fundamental life skill that should be available to all. The cost is the same as mainstream lessons and we are able to fund up to six children per site for 12 weeks and will contribute 50% of the cost.
We would be very grateful if you would be able to pass this information down to the parent/s of any children in your school who you feel may benefit from this opportunity. The lessons are available for children aged 4-10 years.
For those who are interested and would like further information, please can they contact the below:
