Adapted Aquatics Swim Lessons
This is a class for individuals with special needs. This is not a therapeutic program; it is designed to provide participants with a positive water acclimation experience. Participants are paired with a Certified Swim Instructor whose goal is to create a fun play environment while teaching important safety and swimming skills. Skills and games will be played in a 1:1 setting. A parent, sibling or a responsible friend is required to be in the water to assist the instructor until a relationship is developed. A meeting with the guardian, participant and the instructor will take place at the beginning of the first class to discuss goals and any considerations that will aid the participant and instructor to have a positive experience.
Class is only 30 minutes long, please be dressed and use the restroom prior, so we can start class on time.
