Our Vision
Water safety is essential for every child, but traditional swim lessons often don't meet the needs of children with autism, sensory processing differences, or developmental disabilities.
Our Adaptive Swimming program is being developed to fill this gap. We're creating a year-round program with specially trained instructors, sensory-friendly environments, and curriculum designed specifically for special needs children.
Our goal is simple: every child should have the opportunity to learn water safety skills and experience the joy of swimming, regardless of their abilities.
What We're Planning
Here's what our Adaptive Swimming program will include:
Sensory-Friendly Environment
Reduced noise, controlled lighting, and calm atmospheres to support sensory needs.
Small Class Sizes
Low student-to-instructor ratios ensure individualized attention and support.
Trained Instructors
Instructors trained in adaptive techniques and understanding of various disabilities.
Water Safety Focus
Safety is our priority—teaching essential water survival skills first.
Individual Pacing
Lessons move at each child's pace, with no pressure to advance before ready.
Family Involvement
Parents and caregivers are welcome to participate and learn alongside their child.
Why Water Safety Matters
Drowning Risk
Children with autism are 160x more likely to die from drowning than neurotypical peers.
Water Attraction
Many special needs children are drawn to water, making water safety skills essential.
Life-Saving Skills
Learning to float, tread water, and swim to safety can save lives.
Every child deserves to learn these critical skills in an environment designed for their success.
Annual Adaptive WaterPark Day
While our formal Adaptive Swimming program is in development, we already host an annual Adaptive WaterPark Day event! With over 300 guests, this sensory-friendly day at the water park gives special needs families a chance to enjoy water activities together.
