ASD/Adaptive Swim Safety Webinar

Swim Dynamic, United Way Children’s Resource Center, and Swim Angelfish are proud to come together for a powerful and informative webinar focused on adaptive swim safety and drowning prevention for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental, sensory, and physical differences.

Keeping Our Children Safer Around Water: An Adaptive Swim Safety Webinar

Drowning remains one of the leading causes of accidental injury for children, especially those with adaptive needs. This webinar is designed to move beyond general water safety advice and dive deeper into why certain children are at higher risk and how families can proactively reduce that risk through understanding, preparation, and practical strategies.

What You’ll Learn

During this session, you’ll learn how sensory sensitivities, impulsivity, communication differences, and environmental triggers can impact water safety. Our expert-led discussion will help caregivers recognize common risk factors, identify individual triggers, and create customized safety plans that actually work in real life—not just in theory.

What You’ll Walk Away With

• A deeper understanding of drowning risk factors specific to ASD and adaptive populations
• Practical, realistic safety strategies you can use immediately at home and in the community
• Guidance on creating layered safety systems that support independence while prioritizing protection
• Free take-home resources to reinforce learning and help you implement safety strategies with confidence

Because water safety isn’t one-size-fits-all—and understanding the why can save lives.
