Bridging the gap between hydrotherapy and learn-to-swim lessons for children with disability.

This year's theme, 'stronger together, reminds us of the power of shared experiences, connection, and support in building a stronger brain injury community.
At Flipper Academy, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to participate in a supportive and inclusive environment where they feel welcomed, encouraged, and valued. Through our physiotherapy-led aquatic programs, we're proud to work alongside children, families, and the wider allied health community to help make that possible.🐬
We're stronger when we support one another, celebrate every child's unique journey, and create opportunities for all children to participate in ways that suit their individual needs.
This Brain Injury Awareness Week, we stand with children, families, carers, and professionals in raising awareness and fostering a more inclusive community, because we're Stronger Together. 💙

At Flipper Academy, we understand that every child has their own strengths, needs, and way of engaging in the water.
Our 1:1 physiotherapy-led hydrotherapy sessions are designed to provide individualised support, allowing our therapists to tailor each session to the child in front of them. For some children, this may mean more hands-on guidance and encouragement, while for others it may look completely different.
No matter where your child is on their journey, they'll be welcomed into a supportive, inclusive environment where they're encouraged to participate in a way that suits them. 🌊🐬

Is your child nervous in the water?
Large groups, noisy environments and fast-paced lessons can make it difficult for some children to feel safe, confident and ready to learn.
We provide physiotherapy-led aquatic therapy designed specifically for children with disability, developmental challenges and additional support needs.
Our highly attentive one-on-one sessions are perfect for water-apprehensive kids to learn confidence and skills in the water for long-term safety and are tailored to each individual.

In our hydrotherapy sessions, children aren’t just playing in the water, they’re working on meaningful goals guided by our physiotherapists. 💦
From lunges to balance work and controlled kicking exercises, each activity is designed to support strength, coordination, and functional movement in a way that feels achievable and supported.✨
For many children, the water allows movements that are harder on land, helping them build confidence while safely challenging their bodies at their own pace.

'Cameron is very drawn to water, which has been a concern for us, so we wanted to find a supportive environment where he could spend time in the water and practise water awareness skills. Flipper Academy has provided a supportive environment for this, and being part of the program has been a really positive experience for our family.'
For many families, having access to structured, supportive water-based programs is an important step in helping children positively engage with the water.
At Flipper Academy, our sessions are designed to provide a calm and inclusive environment where children can participate at their own pace with guidance from our team. 💙🌊
