Description
Our program is designed by an Occupational Therapist and instructors go through specific training in order to better understand and meet your swimmer’s needs. Lessons take place in either a group with a max of three participants or on an individual basis ranging from the ages of 2+. Levels in the adaptive program are based on the YMCA Swim curriculum but broken down into easier to achieve goals to better match your diverse swimmers physical, cognitive, and sensory abilities to promote success and enjoyment in the water. During our swim lessons, participants learn basic water safety, water acclimation, independent floating, breath control, basic paddling, stroke techniques for swimming on the front and back, object retrieval and more in while helping you and your child to feel confident with them in the water. Not only that but participation in aquatic programming can help to increase your swimmers social skills, coordination, overall strength, sensory processing, endurance, and range of motion.
