🏊🏻‍♀️ If you're out and about this week and spending time around water - make sure you follow the Water Safety Code

⚠️ If you fall in or become tired in the water, stay calm, float on your back, and call for help.

🔵 Tilt your head back: Keep your airway clear and your ears submerged in the water.
🔵 Relax and breathe: Fight the urge to panic and try to get your breathing under control.
🔵 Spread your limbs: Extend your arms and legs to stabilize yourself in the water.
🔵 Scull if needed: Gently move your hands and legs to help you stay afloat.
🔵 Wait for help: It is completely normal if your legs sink (everyone floats differently).
🔵 Once your breathing is steady, signal for help or swim to safety

Things we love to see!

Swimming lessons gives your child entry a new watery world and with guidance from teachers like this, it’s both inspirational and confidence building.

It's always nice to finish a Friday on a high...🚀

💙 🩵 ❤️ Here's a lovely testimonial reflecting on the amazing journey of Harvey's swimming lessons here at Five Rivers:

'I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for the incredible support Harvey has received from Sheila during his 1:1 SEN swimming sessions.

The progress he has made in just three weeks has been nothing short of amazing. His confidence in the water has grown so much, and it has been wonderful to watch him become increasingly relaxed, engaged and willing to challenge himself. He genuinely looks forward to his swimming sessions, which is a real testament to the trusting relationship Sheila has built with him in such a short space of time.

Harvey is an autistic child with ADHD, and new environments and experiences can sometimes feel overwhelming for him. Seeing him thrive in Sheila's care has been incredibly special. She has clearly taken the time to understand him as an individual, recognising what helps him feel safe, confident and successful.

Her patience, kindness, encouragement and ability to connect with Harvey have made such a positive difference. She has created an environment where he feels supported and believed in, and that has allowed him to flourish.

As a parent, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing your child grow in confidence with someone who truly understands and celebrates them. Sheila is an absolute credit to your team, and we are incredibly grateful for the care, expertise and dedication she has shown Harvey.

The impact she has had in such a short space of time has been genuinely wonderful to see.'
