About Aqua Health

About Aqua Health

Aqua Health was founded in 2003 by Melanie en Marcel Kastelijn. As parents of three children, of which two have ADHD and an Autism Spectrum Disorder, they saw that the aquatic training that was available did not accommodate the needs of their children and didn’t fit in with their surroundings. With Aqua Health they want to enable every child to enjoy swimming and/or exercising in the water.

Tremendous passion

This motivated Melanie and Marcel Kastelijn to take the courses and training they needed  in order to set up Aqua Health successfully. The heart of Aqua Health is not solely based on knowledge though, their tremendous enthusiasm and passion for working with special children is at least equally important.
