we have been attending abc swim school with my daughter for over 2 years now with a 1-1 teacher , emily when she first started couldn’t swim and struggled getting in to the water we tried other swimming classes before going to abc swim school and they couldn’t meet her needs 2 years down the line emily is an amazing swimming and has received loads of certificates for her achievements the staff at abc swim school have been absolutely amazing with her not only in learning her how to swim but being happy and confident in the water , the staff have so much patience with emily and a good understanding of how to treat special needs children and how to look after them,, I have recently put my son into the classes now and he is doing amazing and loving the classes
I couldn’t recommend abc swim school enough for special needs children
Both our autistic children have learned to swim with Jenny at ABC and absolutely love it, they
are both now completely confident in the pool.
The lessons are a great mix of fun and learning.
my sons been coming abc nearly 2 years now, being autisic with pda he doesnt take to anything lightly! bathtime was such a huge meltdown but since swimming with abc he loves anything with water and seeing the excitement when he achieves something is priceless! something i never thought he would take too!
My son who has Down Syndrome has been swimming at ABC for 10 years, from a non swimmer to now completing swim certificates. The pool is lovely and warm for our children. Great instructors who are trained in SEN. Nothing too much trouble. Amazing atmosphere created by Jenny, Emily & the team.
All of the team are excellent, they have brilliant understanding of all children’s needs along with going that additional mile for children who are SEND. Both my kids love coming to these classes.
The Best !
My son has been going for over 2 years, he has special needs, autism and is non verbal
He is able to swim, dive under and most importantly be safe in the water thanks to
Jenny, Emily and the amazing team at ABC
Sonny absolutely loves going to swimming and will continue to go and progress
Highly recommend ABC xx
The overall experience and exposure and support you get is absolutely amazing , Jenny and Emily and team are brilliant and I see how my kids have developed over the course of our association with this swimming club
My son‘s confidence is getting stronger in the water since starting in these classes, all the teachers there are really patient and kind. Highly recommend this to anyone.
My son has been attending ABC swim for years, they are all amazing, wonderful people who are brilliant with all the children and accommodate to all Sen needs, when my son first started he could not swim and had no confidence, he can now swim and has so much confidence, he loves ABC and looks forward to going 🙂 Jenny and Emily are fantastic and just do the best job with the biggest hearts! thank you all
Jenny at ABC swimming school is an absolute earth angel. she is always so patient with our little boy and really understands his needs and continues to meet them every week. Our little boy would not even put his head near the water when he started and now he loves swimming and seeing Jenny and all the team. Who are so amazing and really care and that shows.
My little girl adores her swimming lessons here. She’s autistic and learning the most important life skill. Teachers are all wonderful as are Jenny and Emily. Have recommended to many.
