swimming and autism<\/span><\/div>

<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>
Indie has high functioning autism, poor circulation, weak muscles in legs. He had his first ever swimming lesson with SwimNE just before Christmas 2020.

Overcoming a life-long fear of the water, Liz now swims twice a week - and loves it!<\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
