SWiRL's got you covered!
We are SWiRL Global; co-founded by designer Rachael and swim teacher Steph, both parents to neurodiverse children. As a company we focus on inclusion and community in aquatics, we innovate to create sensory considered products for those learning to swim. Our podcast series is about community and signposting; bringing you information to make aquatics more inclusive and, as parents of children with extra needs we draw on our own experiences to help others, chatting to professionals that can guide parents that are walking a similar path to us.
