Through our adaptive Swim Whisperers® methodology we’ve made an impact on the lives of individuals with special needs, swim instructors and aquatic therapists around the world.

Heartfelt testimonials from aquatic professionals, who have successfully applied our training to improve their swimmers’ lives, fill us with pride and continue to fuel our mission.

It is a privilege and honor for us to serve others in the industry with the knowledge we have acquired through the years of working with this specialized population of swimmers. We’re passionate about helping you build a thriving adaptive aquatics business.
