The Perfect Environment
To Learn To Swim.
Nestled within the heart of The Grange Centre for People with Disabilities lies a haven of therapeutic bliss: our hydrotherapy pool. Designed to provide vital support and healing for individuals with learning disabilities, our hydrotherapy pool serves as a sanctuary where individuals can embark on a journey towards enhanced well-being and independence. As advocates for the belief that everyone possesses untapped potential, our dedicated support workers witness remarkable transformations within these tranquil waters. From mastering life skills to achieving milestones such as securing employment or transitioning to independent living, our hydrotherapy pool serves as a cornerstone of empowerment and progress. Founded on the visionary principles of Miss Julia Sweet in 1927, The Grange Centre has remained steadfast in its commitment to fostering growth and opportunity for individuals with disabilities. Join us as we continue this legacy of empowerment and transformation, one soothing ripple at a time.

What They Say
About us
Here what parents and students have to say about Aquashan.
Shannon has taught my youngest son to swim for the last year and has been instrumental in his progress. When he first started he wouldn’t even get in the pool. He has grown in confidence massively and looks forward to his weekly lesson very much. Shannon is patient, kind and encouraging and has kept my son engaged and motivated to continue to learn. The lesson structure is very good and there is time for practice and play. The routine is great for pushing them a little bit further each week and ensuring they see swimming as safe and fun. I would HIGHLY recommend Shannon to anyone looking to start lessons from any age.

My sons, started swimming with Shannon at the ages of 6 and 4 years old, with limited swimming experience. Shannon built their confidence in the water with her firm but gentle, teaching style which is not only professional but also tailored to each child's individual needs. Shannon is experienced at creating a positive and encouraging learning environment.
Shannon has been particularly patient, caring and creative with my eldest son who has ADHD. She has the skill to give a child individual attention whilst being aware of all the other children at the same time, which is no mean feat! We're grateful that our kids have had such a fantastic start to their swimming journey.
