Adaptive Group Swim Lessons
These group lessons for individuals with disabilities teach the foundation for safely enjoying aquatic environments and promoting as much independent movement in the water as possible. This program is not aquatic therapy; instead, the lessons teach and encourage enjoyment of the water as a leisure recreational activity. Lessons will be taught by a Red Cross certified water safety instructor who completed adapted aquatics training and skill evaluation through iCanShine.
