She recently completed her BPhil degree in autism at the University of Birmingham. For her final dissertation, she evaluated a toolkit that she developed for swimming instructors and teaching staff. This paper summarises the work that Julie did. As she points out, there is relatively little written generally on sport and autism and few resources specific to swimming. As swimming is an activity that many children enjoy and has recognised benefits for both physical and mental well-being, t is important that children on the autism spectrum have a good introduction to swimming 50 that they can participate successfully in lessons, have fun with their families and enjoy it in later adulthood. This paper should enhance practice in this area and further details on the toolkit can be obtained from the author.
