You’re half way there!

Suveer has a special message for you …

Tanvi is so thankful for Suveer's lessons with Level Water, if she could she would have a pool at home as Suveer is confident, happy and thrives in the water.

9 year old Suveer has muscular dystrophy. Last year Suveer's mum, Tanvi found out about Level Water and applied for lessons. In a few weeks Suveer was in the water with his new teacher, Emma. 3 months on and the pair have a beautiful relationship. Suveer smiles as Emma takes him through a course she has tailored specifically for his needs: combining Swim England's learn-to-swim pathway with hydrotherapy that helps Suveer's mobility.

Tanvi mentions that friends who haven't seen Suveer in a while comment on how his mobility has improved. Tanvi however can only see his decline. Suveer will keep losing muscle mass and in a few years will be reliant on a wheelchair.

Tanvi is preparing for this by becoming a full time carer and giving up her career in quality assurance. She is also wondering how to find an accessible secondary school for Suveer (his current primary school are incredibly adaptive and have no stairs so it's easy for Suveer to move around). The family are looking to move home to ensure Suveer can have freedom of movement that other children his age take for granted. Getting access to basic needs for him is a constant battle, but at least Suveer can now learn to swim without facing any barriers because of his disability.

A special shout out to Leisure Centre Manager Marina, who have made Level Water welcome to poolside to take videos and is open to many more visits. One centre out of 198 that we work with that are making such a big difference in the lives of children with disabilities and their families.

Suveer might need to move home, find a school but at least he can keep on swimming at the same pool.
