As you may see from their website, the charity predominantly supports children who receive artificial nutrition and long term IV treatments, but as Sport England (and Swim England) have asked them to expand, they have opened their swim events to children (and their families) who attend SEN schools too. You are welcome to join, even if your child isn’t artificially fed (tube fed).
