Parent of a Water Wombats swimmer

"When my son first joined Water Wombats, it was really hard to take him out and about—we were even homeschooling at the time. Mainstream swimming just wasn’t working for him. But from the moment he got into the Water Wombats pool, something changed. He’s completely himself there. It’s where he feels safe, supported, and free to shine. There’s no doubt he’s doing so much better now. We’ve come a long way, and I’m truly grateful to Water Wombats for giving him a place where he could grow in confidence and just be himself. He’s now back in mainstream schooling and has settled in really well."
