Session Details

Our swimming sessions offer a calm and supportive space for neuro-divergent children to explore water in their own way and at their own pace. Rather than focusing on technique or performance, the sessions centre on trust, safety, regulation and relationship. Children are supported to become familiar with the water through gentle repetition, sensory awareness and a responsive presence from the facilitator. With small group sizes and a relaxed pace, each child has space to arrive as they are, take their time, and build confidence naturally. For children aged 6–14. Children under 8 must have a parent or carer on site throughout. Children over 8 may be dropped off. To keep our swimming sessions accessible to all families, we offer a pay-what-you-can scale per child. Please choose the option that feels right for your circumstances: Supported rate – £3 For families who need a little extra support right now. Please choose this option if it helps make attending possible. Community rate – £6 The standard contribution that helps cover the basic running costs of the session. Pay it forward rate – £9 For those who are able to contribute a little more, helping us keep spaces accessible for other families in the community. Sessions take place at the Praa Sands swimming pool on the south coast of Cornwall. The venue offers a relaxed and welcoming setting with facilities that make visits easier for families, including: On-site changing rooms A café / restaurant Outdoor play park Plenty of parking Being close to the beach, it’s also a lovely place to spend time before or after sessions if families wish.
