Lessons for Special Needs

This program focuses on developing a child’s self-esteem, strength, coordination and swim skills. We are dedicated to working with children to help learn the skills they’ll need throughout their life to stay safe near water and embrace the wonders that swimming has to offer. Instructors are trained to work with each child individually in order to key in on their interests, challenges and fears, help autistic children process information and understand what they are asked to do.

Swimming lessons are modified from our core program on a case-by-case basis to support children with special abilities. Bottom line: we focus on what they can do instead of what they can not. The swim instructor will work one-on-one with each student to acclimate the student to the water with sensory play activities while working on an introduction to skills that will be used in the next level(s).
