Personalised One-on-One Swimming Lessons | AustSwim Registered Swimming Teacher
We provide personalised one-on-one swimming lessons, specialising in teaching children with additional needs.
Lessons take place in a quiet, indoor heated magnesium pool in Southport, offering a warm, comfortable, and protected environment all year round.
Our teachers follow a flexible lesson plan tailored to each child’s individual needs and abilities. We use specially designed swim visuals that clearly demonstrate each skill, helping to create structure, encourage repetition, and make learning enjoyable. Toys and swimming aids are also available when needed to support specific drills, improve focus, and build confidence in the water.
Please note that swimming lessons are no longer funded through the NDIS unless your plan specifically includes this support.
Lessons are available in either 15-minute or 30-minute sessions, with the same teacher each week to promote consistency and trust. Every lesson is individually tailored to your child’s ability, goals, and progress, ensuring a positive and supportive learning experience.
Look forward to hearing from you and helping your young one become safe and confident in water.

6 months agoWe have been with Miss Wendy for 6 yrs. She is so patient and supported my children to become confident and capable swimmers. My eldest in particular has gone from a scared 3 yr old when we started to a 9 yr old age champion swimmer. Highly recommend Able Swim.

7 months agoWe cannot recommend Miss Wendy highly enough. She went above and beyond to build trust with our son before even expecting him to step into the water. Her calm, clear instructions and the way she communicates with him are truly exceptional. She is patient, adaptable, and intuitively responsive to his individual needs. Miss Wendy was the only person who could help him feel safe enough to get into the pool and begin learning. Through her guidance, he hasn’t just developed swimming skills, he has also gained a better understanding of his body, how different body parts move, and this has positively impacted other areas of his development as well. Her kindness, professionalism and genuine care make her outstanding. We are incredibly grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend Miss Wendy to any family.

1 year agoI am forever greatful for Wendy for the years of effort and dedication she put into my daughter with special needs. Needless to say, she is now 8 and swims with confidence and is most importantly safe and loves the water. Thank you Wendy for all that you have taught her.
