​Private Adaptive Swim Lessons – Customized to Their Needs

We specialize in working with children with special needs to help them overcome obstacles relating to Anxiety, Discomfort, Delay, Trauma, Motor, Sensory, Autism, or Physical Disabilities.

Why Choose a Private Lesson?

The best way to get started is with a private swim lesson. Rest assured that your child will be fully engaged for the duration of the class, thanks to the instructor’s one-to-one attention.

Our Unique Approach

In a private lesson with one of our instructors, certified in the Adaptive Swim Whisperers® Program, your child will experience a customized lesson focused on how to achieve safety and independence in the water. 

Swim Skills and Beyond

Our goal is to teach basic swimming skills and create a strong foundation for swim stroke techniques, to nurture and develop your swimmer’s potential.

Expertise in Every Lesson

To help your athlete meet swim skill standards faster and feel more at ease during their lesson, our instructors will use the Swim Whisperers® Methodology to address the underlying problems getting in the way of swim success and will use specially developed strategies to overcome these obstacles.
