Fun & Friendship Through Swimming
Swimming Buddies is a supportive and inclusive space where children of all abilities are welcomed and encouraged to move, play, and connect in the water. We are dedicated to helping children not only learn to stay safe near water, but our aquatic therapy offers a unique environment that supports physical, emotional, and sensory development in a calm and engaging way. Our sessions are designed to meet your child where they are, helping them build strength, confidence and a sense of belonging.
Water Safety
Our Autism Swim approved Swimming Programme focuses on teaching water safety in a fun and supportive setting. We aim to help everyone reach their full potential and stay safe in the water while making some new friends along the way.
Water Skills
Our Buddies are all individual learners and will have different journeys. Our small group sessions maintain a calming environment so our Buddies can learn what fundamental water skills they need to reach their full potential - whatever their goals!
Water Therapy
With specialised techniques and a nurturing approach, we create a sensory outlet and love for water right from the start. Moving against the resistance of water helps strengthen your child’s muscles, especially in their core and spine, and it all happens while having fun!
91% of parents in our community have left other aquatic services due to them not understanding their child’s needs
Children on the autism spectrum are 160 times more likely to drown than their peers
1:5 people have a disability.
This means varying needs, goals, preferences and learning styles
Baby Buddies
Baby Buddies is all about creating a gentle, inclusive and supportive start for little ones, aged under 4, in the water.
Each Buddies explores at their own pace, and together with parents and caregivers, we build trust, confidence, and connection in a calm, therapeutic environment.

"Swimming Buddies has understood my child's needs and abilities without any judgement from the start. Callum was not afraid of water, which was my biggest fear. His coach has been able to teach him not only how to stay safe in and around the water, but various strokes above and below the surface. After 7 years Callum is now doing his Rookie Lifeguard skills training."
