Special Needs Adaptive Aquatics
Swimming can be a great outlet for anyone but especially for adaptive swimmers or special needs swimmers, even those with the most severe disability can have a wonderful time in the water. Swimming lessons can be very beneficial for swimmers of all ages and all needs.
Benefits of swim lessons for special needs swimmers include but are not limited to:
The Swim Lesson People provides swim lessons for children with Autism, Physical Difficulties and sensory challenges. Specially trained Swim Whisperers® instructors incorporate strategies to help children learn to swim faster and with less discomfort than traditional methods.

Instructors spend time within each lesson addressing each child’s specific sensory obstacles and fears with proven movement strategies.
