Adaptive Swim Lessons
The Y’s adaptive swim lesson program is designed for children with special needs. With the needs of each individual in mind, the goal of this program is to provide basic water instruction and teach water safety skills in a therapeutic manner.
Classes consist of four 30-minute swim lessons per session. Participants may be placed individually or with other participants. In order to ensure that each participant is placed in the proper setting, instructor approval is required in order to register.
