What is Aquatic Therapy?

Rapidswim Aquatic Therapy provides water based therapy designed to improve areas that impact the everyday functioning for people with disabilities.

Our ongoing 1:1 Aquatic Therapy sessions with a qualified therapist provide a supportive environment to support our clients toward achieving their goals.

Inclusive Sport SA therapists utilise best practice techniques in assisting children with specialised needs such as the use of visual communication systems, support at times of transition, and recognition and support to assist with sensory and motor dysfunction.

Our therapists work specifically with families to support NDIS participant goals and complete quarterly reports to outline aims and to record progress.
