Aquatic Physiotherapy Intensives
What Are Aquatic Physiotherapy Intensives?
Aquatic Intensives are short-term, goal-focused swimming programs designed to support children of all ages and abilities. Led by a physiotherapist with elite swimming experience, these sessions use water-based therapy to build strength, coordination, and confidence in a water based environment.
