Hi everyone, I hope you’re all good.
My wife and I were looking for swim lessons and/or hydrotherapy for our 3 year old son who has spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. He loves swimming and water play (even bath time), and we want to help his development by taking him to sessions so he can exercise and gain confidence while having fun (win-win).

Any recommendations are welcome. We live in the Birmingham area near to the Solihull border.
Thank you in advance,
