swimming should be fun, centering, and positive!
- We pride ourselves on a comfortable water experience, always meeting our swimmers exactly where they're at. This allows students to relax and “feel” how their bodies move in the water. We also believe swimming is all about joy, so we strive to make swimming lessons fun. A love of swimming provides students with an endless source of enjoyment throughout their lives as well as fitness and confidence -in and out of the water!
swimming and water safety skills are essential for everyone.
- Drowning is a silent event that can happen to even experienced swimmers. Especially near bodies of water safety is a must! We teach swimmers and their entire families water safety skills that will help in the case of an accidental water entry or water emergency. We also provide swimmers the opportunity to familiarize themselves with water rescue equipment.
students learn best through a personalized approach.
- We start with our students’ strengths, helping them find early successes in skills that match their abilities. We believe students ultimately progress more quickly when they can work with a teacher to master the right skills at the right time and pace.
SwimPossible certified instructors provide safe, calming, and fun lessons that are customized for students who need a personalized approach - adapted to their needs for learning how to swim. Our method incorporates current swim techniques and adaptive learning strategies to help swimmers quiet their minds and feel how their bodies move in the water.
SwimPossible does not focus on diagnoses or labels. We teach swimming to students of all ages who are not served successfully by traditional group lessons, including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Anxiety, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and other sensory and physical/motor learning differences.
