Hi, I have tried searching for this as I'm sure it's been done got nowhere, so apologies if you are repeating.
My DS is 8, has AS and loves to swim. He has no safety awareness and finds it hard to hear instructions in lessons. We have tried group lessons but he ends up shouting, refusing to co-operate, being told off and sitting on the side. He hates the lesson structure but having no fear of water, he really needs lessons. He went for a while with my husband each week but that ends up being a fun swim rather than a lesson. He can swim after a fashion but I want him to learn better techniques for his own safety and enjoyment. I am trying to book one to one but there are no spaces where we live and no-one here seems to be able to recommend anything or anyone.
Any experiences of swimming lessons would be really helpful, thank you.
