SwimAbilities is designed for children and youth with physical, mental and/or emotional exceptionalities. It is a 4-level swimming program where instructors break down swimming skills into small, manageable components with logical progressions that support opportunities for success for the participants. This program is for children and youth that require additional support while in the water and when learning to swim. Swimmers will benefit from a slower paced program that provides more visual support, one-on-one assistance, and personal modifications. During lessons, swimmers must have a parent, caregiver, or aide in the water to support a safe learning environment. Swimmers and their caregivers are assisted by the instructor as they learn to be safe and independent while enjoying the water.

Prior to the first day of lessons, participants will receive an email containing a questionnaire to fill out to give Instructor further information on each participant to aide in teaching techniques, ensure safety, and to help instructors understand the participants learning style. On the first day, participants will undergo a swim evaluation and will be placed in the level to match the child’s ability.
