INCLUSIVE SWIMMING IN CAMDEN

SEN Swimming Lessons

At Better, we believe that swimming is for everyone, no matter what your support and access needs are. That’s why we offer a range of SEND and SEN swimming lessons at many of our pools and leisure centres. From 1:1 sessions for those who need extra help to group classes for more confident swimmers, we offer several options and classes for those swimming with disabilities.

We want to make swimming accessible, fun, and easy for everyone. Our SEN swimming sessions and SEND swimming classes have been specifically developed for those swimming with a disability. Our instructors have gone through dedicated training, meaning they can deliver inclusive classes for people with different disabilities, impairments and access needs.

Leisure centres in Camden are also wheelchair accessible with poolside mobility aids, allowing those with physical disabilities to participate. Swiss Cottage and Kentish Town have the additional benefit of the Poolpod. Poolpod lifts give swimmers independent, comfortable access to the pool. Unlike traditional pool hoists, you can operate Poolpod yourself, using one of the specially designed wristbands, to access the pool independently. The Poolpod is a submersible platform lift which enables disabled people or people with restricted mobility to safely access public swimming pools in a dignified manner.
