22.01.2022 Hello Testimonial Tuesday, how do you do? Pretty great judging by this Join the Autism Swim family and you too will learn an incredibly amount of new information and strategies. www.autismswim.com.au Image description: In the left third of the image is an underwater photo. It shows a boy standing on the bottom of a swimming pool, there are bubbles around his face. The tiles are white, and there are lines of blue tiles on the floor, and along the back wall of the swimming p...ool. The boy is wearing black shorts and a long sleeved rash shirt with black sleeves, and a white chest with a smiley face on it. The top of the water can be seen from underneath, like a ceiling. The right side of the image shows a white background with blue text. The text reads "I've learned SO much - from onboarding to content, it's have been interesting and enriching, looking forward being part of the AS global family" then a blue line under that, and under that more text in bold that reads "Hadas, Autism Swim Approved provider in Israel.". In the lower right hand corner is the Autism Swim logo (a white circle with the letters AS in black, a wavy blue line underneath that, and the words "Autism Swim" in small black font, under the line). #autismswim #autismswimapproved #testimonial #learntoswim #swimmingteacher #swimteacher #aquatictherapy #dorwningprevention #allabilities #disability

15.01.2022 Hello testimonial Tuesday! One of our most common pieces of feedback is that our strategies are just as useful for mainstream participants, as they are for those with specific learning needs.

In the lower right hand corner is the Autism Swim logo (a white circle with the letters AS in black, a wavy blue line underneath that, and the words "Autism Swim" in small black font, under the line). #autismswim #autismswimapproved #inclusiveswimming #watersafety #watertherapy #australia #swimteacher #swimmingteacher #aquatics #swimminginstructor

14.01.2022 Heartbreaking update from Victoria Police in the story of missing teenager, William Wall, who has been found deceased. We are thinking of his loved ones, and all of those impacted by this terrible tragedy

He has short, brown hair and is holding his hands under his chin. Lane dividers can be seen behind them.

10.01.2022 As you may recall, we are wonderfully appreciative grant recipients from AMP and The funding Network, which will allow us to develop a world-first surfing certification! This means surfing teachers all over the world, can become specialised in teaching those with other abilities. We're now looking for 3-5 legends who would like to join a working committee, in developing the content for this. We would especially love to hear from Occupational Therapists, Surfing Teachers and t...hose with other abilities. The committee members will give their time pro bono, in framing up the content essentials for this amazing world-first opportunity. Come join in on the fun.

09.01.2022 Love this photo from our provider Brith (Southport, QLD) of a little one using a mirror to learn new skills!

09.01.2022 We are currently spear-heading a project with the NSW Police and Rescue team, which is centered on refining their search and rescue processes for those with autism and communication challenges (including dementia) who wander. We are looking at awareness building in the community (video and podcasts), police up-skilling, database enhancements and assistive tech devices, to name just a few. It is incredibly important work! Dementia Australia is also part of the working committe...e, and now we need an Occupational Therapist and an adult with other abilities to join. The committee members will give their time pro bono. If you’re interested, please send your CV and cover letter through to [email protected], explaining your motivation for wanting to be a part of this. . . . . #autismswim #nswpolice #wandering #wanderingprevention #absconding #allabilities #ot #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapists #dementia #autism #asd #autismspectrumdisorder

08.01.2022 Happy Friday... Science explains that seeing or hearing the soothing sounds of moving water triggers a response in our brains that induces a flood of Neurochemicals. These chemicals increase blood flow to the brain and heart, which induces relaxation.

06.01.2022 Not only do we love certifying our providers, we love working with them to build new projects and initiatives! This is one of our providers, Carol (Kent, UK), who had the wonderful idea of developing a questionnaire to help identify swimmer's needs as they return to the pool. Awesome job, Carol!

02.01.2022 THIS is the type of caption that we’re here for Thank you for all that you do, Autism Swim Approved Provider @swirl_global Steph: "I wrote this in response to a parent and businesswoman on another forum but felt I needed to share it here.... It's so frustrating that the world wants to impose limitations on our children once they see a diagnosis. A diagnosis should be used to help our children reach their fullest potential by putting in appropriate support, and not be used as an excuse to exclude them or limit them." We at SWiRL are parents of autistic children, we strive for inclusion and support everywhere and our passion is ensuring that support is extended to the pool so that everyone can enjoy the water and learn a life saving skill for life. . . . #autismswim #autismswimapproved #autismswimmer #autismawareness #inclusion #asd
