Breaking Down Barriers in Swimming

Helping children with Special Educational Needs thrive in the water

The Heart of SEN Swimming UK

SEN Swimming UK began with Lily, our founder’s little sister who has Down’s syndrome. From an early age, Lily loved being in the water — but learning to swim was far from easy. As her peers progressed, Lily was left behind.

Inclusion Through Education

Our qualification equips swimming teachers with the skills and confidence to deliver truly inclusive lessons for children with Special Educational Needs. Developed in collaboration with leading charities and corporate partners, it sets a new benchmark for safe, supportive, and high-quality swimming teaching.
