– Children aged 4-11
– Who cannot currently swim ten metres
– With a physical disability or sensory impairment

Lessons will be held at Tiverton, Kingstanding, Handsworth and Small Heath. I have attached a flyer – please can you forward this on to any families who may wish to apply for our lessons. Please include our full criteria above. In the first instance they should send an email tocontact@levelwater.org with their child’s age, disability and postcode.
Best wishes,
Ian
