For those in chronic pain, the water's buoyancy supports the body's weight, reducing stress on the joints and minimising pain. Exercising in the water also increases circulation and improves range of motion. The water's resistance also helps build muscle strength and flexibility.

Its about knowing what to do if someone gets into trouble. Or if a strong current takes your friend away from the edge. Or if you fall in when running by a river or a canal. ​ Our swim teachers are there to support you in your learning and assesses you against the award scheme. ​ SDSG is committed to The Swim England School Swimming and Water Safety Charter. ​ Supported by Springhead School, Woodlands School and many SEN Departments in local mainstream schools.
