Parent and child swimming lessons with a disability
Welcome to our swimming academy, where we offer specialized swimming lessons for swimmers with mild disabilities who are not yet able to participate in regular swimming lessons. Our goal is to promote self-reliance and guide these swimmers, despite their disabilities, towards achieving an ABC swimming diploma with a disability.
During these unique swimming lessons, parents/guardians play an active role in guiding their swimmer. In our pool, the water depth is a safe maximum of 1.30 meters, allowing the parent/guardian to comfortably stand in the water and support the swimmer during the lessons.
Our groups are intentionally small, with a maximum of 8 swimmers, to provide sufficient personal attention to each swimmer and their parent/guardian. . Together with experienced swimming instructors, we work on developing swimming skills and self-confidence. The swimming instructor provides group instructions and is present at every stage to guide all swimmers and their accompanying adults.
These lessons take place on Saturdays at ‘De Werf’ location in Amsterdam-Noord, in two time slots: 17:30-18:00 and 18:00-18:30. We strive for small groups of a maximum of 8 swimmers (excluding accompanying adults) to ensure personalized attention. We collaborate with the Youth Fund for Sports & Culture Amsterdam to provide financial support to swimmers with disabilities. Please contact us for more information.

For Swim lessons with disabilities
At Van der Wal Sports and Swimming Academy, we use the A-B-C diploma from ZwemOnderwijs Nederland. The difference with the regular A-B-C from NRZ or Sep and Sop diplomas is that after obtaining our A diploma, your child can immediately swim in a pool with slides, currents, and play equipment. Your child will feel safe and confident in the water. Survival swimming is taught in addition to the B and C diploma.
