Little Heroes Swim Academy is a leading sports club in Sydney that specialises in aquatic education. With a focus on inclusivity, the academy provides swimming lessons for both mainstream students and students with disabilities. The academy strongly believes in giving everyone equal access to their services, and they work hard to provide inclusive swimming lessons through their Disability Swim Programme, which is subsidised by their Mainstream Learn-To-Swim lessons.
The academy takes a holistic approach to teaching, emphasising relaxation in the water and promoting water safety. By creating a relaxed and safe environment, they aim to ensure that all students, regardless of their abilities, can enjoy the water to the fullest. Their goal is to teach students not only how to swim but also how to be safer in the water, ultimately leading to more enjoyment.
As a registered charity, Little Heroes Swim Academy is dedicated to providing aquatic education opportunities to children and adults with disabilities. They strive to create an inclusive environment where students learn not only from their instructors but also from each other. By bringing together mainstream and disabled students, the academy believes that everyone can benefit and grow.
The academy offers various programmes to cater to different age groups and skill levels. Their disABILITY BUBS programme is designed specifically for babies and toddlers with disabilities. SWIMthrive is their mainstream programme, providing lessons for children and adults of all abilities. Finally, OCEANthrive is a programme that focuses on ocean swimming and developing advanced swimming skills.
