Hydro Kids is a fun and engaging water-based therapy program designed to help children improve strength, coordination, and movement in a safe and supportive environment. Conducted in a warm hydrotherapy pool, Hydro Kids uses the buoyancy and resistance of water to assist children with various physical, sensory, and developmental needs.
This NDIS-funded program is not a swimming lesson but a structured exercise therapy session delivered by Allied Health Assistants (AHAs) following a program designed by an Exercise Physiologist (EP). Each child’s therapy plan is customised to align with their NDIS goals, ensuring targeted and effective progress.
Hydro Kids sessions are designed and guided by experienced professionals, ensuring safe, effective, and inclusive therapy for children.
Sessions take place in a warm, state-of-the-art hydrotherapy pool, creating a comfortable space for therapy and movement.
Each child’s therapy plan is customised to align with their NDIS goals, providing targeted support for their specific needs.
Hydro Kids helps children improve coordination, muscle strength, and confidence, making movement easier and more enjoyable.
Water reduces strain on joints while promoting mobility.
Builds core strength, balance, and flexibility.
Ideal for children with autism, cerebral palsy, and other developmental conditions.
Provides a fun and engaging environment.
Helps with swelling reduction and blood flow improvement.
Each child must complete a 45-minute land-based assessment with an Exercise Physiologist (EP) to evaluate their needs and create a personalised therapy plan.
Children attend 30-minute therapy sessions in a warm hydrotherapy pool, led by an Allied Health Assistant (AHA) following the EP-designed plan, with progress reviewed every 12 weeks to ensure ongoing improvement.
Hydro Kids is fully claimable under NDIS when included in a child’s plan. Parents or caregivers must provide NDIS goals before sessions begin.
To learn more about joining the Hydro Kids program or to get started, please speak with your clinician or contact us directly.

Wonderful facility for pool therapy and exercise. Staff are friendly and helpful and the pool and
surrounds are clean and well maintained. Physio Robyn is wonderful and helped me with a program,
now self guided, to assist in improving mobility and strengthen muscles. It is an enjoyable and gentle
way to exercise.
Warm, soothing water.
Wide range of equipment available for following your therapy plan independently.
Beautiful social atmosphere. No judgement. Great friendships to be formed.
Amazing, highly skilled, caring exercise physiologists working with clients of all ages and range of disabilities. Great love and compassion shown.
Staff so welcoming.
I call it the "Pool of Love".
I was very impressed with Mark Johnston's treatment and advice. I'm 6 months post knee replacement and still suffering pain and swelling and wondering how I could possibly do more to speed my recovery - nothing seemed to be having the desired effect. Mark pinpointed my physical problems, explained the reason behind each exercise, and has given me a plan of action that I feel very positive about. Excellent service!!
I found this place through a friend and through a care plan ,the staff are very friendly and professional I found myself to be very comfortable with the surroundings and the way the staff keep everyone safe.I found that they have classes which are suiting me The only thing that would be great if you could have more free time to visit the site. The pricing is affordable and who can put a price on your health and mobility. Give them ago you wont regret it.
Madison is fantastic. Worked out detailed exercise program for me, worked through it; she understands I may not be able to afford to keep coming after the Care Plan, but has made me feel confident to work at it on my own for a while then maybe come back at intervals to see her and/or to come on casual visits. I'm really impressed; I felt in a limbo with nowhere to go to do something about my back, but my time with her has made me feel more positive about the possibilities. Thanks so much. Dee
We have been coming to Adelaide Active for a number of years. My son attends the swimclusion class which he loves and his safety awareness in the water has improved greatly, and his swimming strokes have improved also. My youngest son who is sensory, made huge changes from attending. The beautiful facilities are top notch, clean, the pool is lovely and warm but mostly the staff are so friendly, caring and go above and beyond to support our kids needs.
Watching the team work happily and professionally together, supporting their clients with their health goals makes me so happy that we attend such a great business.
Highly recommend
