Dolphins Health Precinct is excited to introduce Making Aquatics a Terrific Experience (MATE), an innovative and interactive community seminar aimed at optimising health and wellness opportunities for people with medical conditions and/or disabilities.
The MATE seminar, run by AUSTSWIM (Australasian Council for the Teaching of Swimming and Water Safety), provides participants with the information, skills and confidence to take a person with a medical condition and/or disability to the pool for recreation activities.
The MATE seminar is not about swimming strokes; it is a guide to encouraging and facilitating physical activity in an aquatic environment for people who do not always have the opportunity to participate in aquatic activity.
Why is Aquatic Activity beneficial?
- Promotes sense of well being
- Maximises body function and independence

- Endorses water safety principals
- Provides fitness opportunities for you and your MATE
Who can attend?
- Family Member (Parents, Partners, Friends, Siblings etc)
