3 Jun
Summary
- A charity offers 1-2-1 swimming lessons to disabled children.
- Students show significant growth in abilities and confidence.
- Demand exceeds current provision, with a waitlist of 40.
A charity providing specialized 1-2-1 swimming lessons for children with disabilities is planning an expansion following a highly successful three-month period. The program, which operates at Dartmouth Leisure Centre, has been instrumental in boosting students' confidence and swimming capabilities.
Instructors have observed significant improvements, with parents noting the positive impact on their children's overall well-being and participation in other activities. The current provision serves 33 students, but a waitlist of 40 indicates a strong demand for these vital lessons.
The charity hopes to extend its services to Totnes and Ivybridge, aiming to reduce wait times and reach more families. These tailored lessons offer a safe and supportive environment, crucial for children with additional needs.
