Additional Needs FAQ
A swimmer doesn’t need a diagnosis or statement. Although we don’t diagnose additional needs we can support any additional need, whether emotional, behavioural or physical. A swimmer may have had an additional need for years (e.g. visual impairment) or they may have a temporary additional need (e.g. exam stress).
Victoria is available via email additionalneeds@bwscswim.org.uk. Victoria is also happy to organise a confidential meeting away from poolside.
We can support any additional need, whether emotional, behavioural or physical. Following an initial chat with Victoria, she will research the additional need you would like support for and begin working to fulfil the all the ANCo role aims outlined above. This year we have supported a variety of additional needs e.g hearing impairment, Downs Syndrome, English as an Additional Language, and anxiety.
