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.

"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".

"Words cannot express how fantastic this program has been for our family. Thank you for turning this into a dream come true experience and for all your efforts in teaching water safety, confidence and strength to these beautiful human beings living with ASD. 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!"
Yasmin, mother of child with ASD
"I loved the “thoroughness” of the content and how the approach is far more holistic outside of just swimming."
Taylor, 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."
