The brand new Autism Swim Neuroinclusive Aquatics Academy is a world-first learning hub designed to equip everyone with the knowledge and tools to create neuroinclusive aquatic environments.
For over a decade, Autism Swim has worked alongside aquatic and allied health professionals, and the broader community to make the water safer and a place where everyone can belong.
The Academy now brings this knowledge together in one place – offering learning designed specifically for anyone who supports neurodivergent people in and around the water.
Inside the Neuroinclusive Aquatics Academy you’ll find learning that is:
- Neuroaffirming
- Research-backed by expert clinicians, including occupational therapists, behaviour support practitioners and physiotherapists
- Shaped by lived experience of neurodivergence
