Testimonials

Audrey, Swim Instructor

"Huge thank you Autism Swim for the swim instructor course. It was great to learn from experienced professionals about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and considerations I need to make in the aquatic environment. In fact, the knowledge and ideas I have gained have transformed the way I approach all of my swim lessons and students.

It was really convenient to able to complete the initial training online and in my own time. Receiving new and refresher material every month helps keep my training current. Anytime I have had a query or needed some extra support, Autism Swim have been there for me. The wandering and drowning statistics for those with ASD are alarming and I am proud to be a part of the Autism Swim community who are helping to make a change."

Ayla has overcome her fear of waves and enjoys the water with a new level of confidence she previously didn't have. We would love to be a part of all future programs like this that you may run!"

Shari, Swim instructor

"I attended the Course last week and found it to be a wealth of information. The content of the course was made extremely interesting by a facilitator whose fluid presentation saw the day fly!!

The factual information I gathered during the course will be easy to apply to clients with Autism. I highly recommend attending this course if an opportunity arises

Brith, Swim intructor

'I would say it’s the best thing I have ever done, the support I get from them and the knowledge they have, to help us when we need it is amazing, you are never alone with any problem or hurdle they do it with you.

I have been able to help and support so many children with ASD in the pool and no two are alike, they all have something special to offer, I learn as much from them as they do from me.

I would recommend that any swim teacher who likes to work with people with disabilities do this course, what we learn does not just apply for those with ASD. It can easily be transferred to other disabilities too.'

Charlotte, Swim instructor

"I really liked the videos and interviews of real-life students, parents, teachers. Great in-depth information that was useful and I can take things away and start using it straight away.

I have come away with better understanding to how I can teach. Thank you so much."

Taylor, Swim instructor

"I loved the “thoroughness” of the content and how the approach is far more holistic outside of just swimming."

Kellie, Swim instructor

"The content is captivating, beautifully delivered and effortlessly easy to follow. There is a plethora of outstanding information and experience, given with empathy, generosity and importantly an easy format to take notes and replay as required.

This incredible resource with ongoing support and learning aids I would recommend to any Swim Teacher."
