A furious mother has spoken out after Center Parcs banned her autistic son from a water slide because of his swimming abilities - but she says he just has an unconventional technique.
Kirsty Moyce, 36, and her family visited the family resort in Sherwood Forest for a five-night holiday last month and were excited to use the Wild Water Rapids in the swimming pool area.
She claims her son Fred Moyce, six, had a 'meltdown' when a lifeguard banned him from using the slide on their second day as 'he's not a strong swimmer' despite using it the day before.
Fred was diagnosed with the condition in 2021 and is 'severely autistic', but his mother insists 'the one thing he can do is swim'.
The young boy goes swimming every week but does so in an unconventional technique due to his autism, which involves him doing 'breaststroke with his head up constantly'.
