What are Adaptive Swim lessons?
Children who have physical, cognitive, and sensory needs may require extra time, attention and/or conversations surrounding their specific needs. At Big Blue, we encourage parents to speak with their local team to understand how we can best serve all swimmers. Additionally, select locations offer lessons with an instructor certified and trained in the Swim Whisperers® method. To contact your local team to learn more, visit our locations page.
