Article about ‘Halliwick and Therapy’
Feb 7th
The Halliwick Concept is an approach known worldwide which enables people to enjoy water based activities and to learn to swim. In some cases it is used for therapy.
Since its inception in 1949 by James McMillan (Mac), different aspects of the Concept have been further developed. For instance we have seen the development of games and activities to enhance and consolidate learning, an increased understanding of how to teach swimming strokes to persons with limited mobility and specific use of Halliwick for therapeutic purposes.
This article will address more specifically the use of Halliwick when working with clients with cerebral palsy (CP) or similar conditions. (See CP definition at end of this article).

There are two levels of annual affiliation fee: either £122.25 if you do not actively offer the RLSS courses or £41.25 if you do; either way, each CRB check is FREE.
Contact details: Tel: 01789 – 773 994
OR
