Special Needs Swimming Lesson
At Tropical Kids Bali, we believe swimming is a life skill every child needs. That’s why we provide private swimming lessons for children with unique needs.
Swimming has many benefits — including helping to prevent drowning (which is among the leading causes of death of kids with autism). The main goal is to let your child be comfortable in the water and have fun while learning new skills, with less risk of injury.
Before your child’s first swim lesson, we can discuss the customised plan and get to know your child’s abilities. You can even come in and meet the team. Have questions or want to learn more about our swim lessons for special needs children? Contact us

Swim and Survive programs
Swim and Survive is a swimming and water safety program that develops skills across the following areas:
- Entry and exit skills teach children to determine the safest entry and exit method for a range of aquatic environments.
- Underwater skills aim to provide the student with the skills that may enable them to escape from dangers or search for a submerged object
- Survival skills include the teaching of survival techniques and strategies for a range of emergency situations, including the use of lifejackets.
- Water safety develops an understanding of a range of swimming and water safety issues that underpins safety in and around the water.
- Sculling and body orientation enable children to gain mobility in the aquatic environment and are vital skills for developing swimming and survival skills.
