SEN Series

For children with additional needs we offer a separate skills and distance programme that are seemlessly integrated into our regular classes.
The Rockhopper series works at a gentler pace and is specifically designed for children with additional developmental needs whilst remaining true to the core Aqualight ethos that “Our children love water for life.” The skills help develop water confidence, skills and safety awareness and is taught in completely integrated classes.
