Benefits of swimming lessons for special needs students

It could save their lives

Often it is simply a lack of awareness that causes danger among children with special needs. Our special needs swim lessons educate kids on all aspects of water safety, and the skills they need to survive in a water environment.

Help boost confidence & self-esteem

Many children with special needs have problems with confidence, but successfully learning a new skill like swimming with the help of a special needs swim instructor can make all the difference.

It improves their fitness & strength

Special needs children can benefit from the improvement of strength and fitness that comes with our swim lessons, making them healthier and more capable.

Improve coordination & range of motion

Swimming is an activity that improves balance, coordination and range of motion, all things that many special needs children struggle with. Our talented special needs swim instructors can help your child improve their skills in each area as they learn to swim.

Having done synchronized swimming and water polo, my relationship with the water is one of understanding and cooperation. I played at San Diego State University and competed as an adult. I coached high school polo for 16 years, so I have been coaching since February 2009 and have worked with students 7 months and up. I specialize in establishing a working relationship with the water. My approach is focused on common-sense survival. Being comfortable and at ease ensures water success. I work specifically with clients who have experienced trauma, causing fear and anxiety. First-time swimmers, who have not had the privilege of swim lessons, find success with me. I work with those who have disabilities, ASD, are non-verbal, and those who are fearful.
