Grown ups welcome!👋👋 We love seeing mums, dads, and adults get in the water with us!

While our goal is always to have children confidently swimming by themselves, a lot of our clients start out feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, fear and sensory sensitivity to swimming or even touching water.

If needed, we welcome parents to join in early sessions to:
- speed up the trust building process between child and therapist
- collaborate on behaviour management techniques with the therapists
- learn how to feel safe and confident swimming alone with their child
- not miss out on the fun!!!

Alternatively many of our Aquaheart parents use lesson time to take a breath from the business of caring for their child… cheering them on from the pool sideline.

DOLL and PRETEND PLAY🧜🏽‍♀️🦄🦋🌈

A big goal our clients often have is improving communication skills and social skills. At Aquaheart a favourite is often our mermaids. You may notice our OTs ‘playing’ pretend along side your child… they are creating opportunities to:

💧Develop empathy
💧Build Speech- language skills
💧Encourage imaginative play and problem solving
💧And heaps more!

Doll play is evidence based and is just one of the many play based strategies our Occupational Therapists use during their sessions.

Our team is ready to go for Term 1 - 😍🐳 we are so excited to see you all and achieve some awesome goals together this year!

We LOVE this!! 🎅🏽👨‍🦽Parents are so creative when comes to inlcusion!!
