Our Adaptive Swim Lesson Program is for children and adults with special needs that may not be met through traditional swim lessons. The goal of this program is to provide students with a structured aquatic experience designed to make them feel comfortable and safe while swimming. Adapted Lessons are booked in blocks of four or eight and run for 30 minutes per-class. Pricing is the same as generally offered private, semi-private and group lessons.
If interested, fill out an Adaptive Lesson Request form (PDF), also available at the Recreation Center program desk.
