Special Needs Adaptive Swim Lessons

One-on-one instruction tailored to each student's unique needs and abilities

Swim lesson instruction

AquaSafe provides specialized one-on-one swimming instruction tailored to the student's special needs. We use customized techniques to ensure that students get the most out of their swimming lessons by building immediate rapport with each child through games, songs, props and encouragement. Our experienced, patient instructors create a safe, supportive environment where each student can learn at their own pace. AquaSafe works with your local Regional Center for funding and will accept managers' approvals. We focus on building water safety skills and confidence through individualized techniques that work best for each student's unique needs and abilities.
