Swimming with Autism: Adaptive Aquatics introducing a rescue tube for drowning prevention

Meet Koji, a young boy with autism who tends to be impulsive and a flight risk. His family loves to be in, near and around water. Follow along and watch how this Swim Whisperer addresses Koji's sensory needs with his need to learn and follow a safety routine.

Do you have any swimmers who are dangerous and unaware of safety at the pool? Safety is at the top of everyone’s swim program goals, BUT when working with swimmers with autism this becomes more important than ever. We are constantly looking for new and creative ideas for how to incorporate safety into our swim skill development. As swimmers become safer…. we can reduce parents stress and give them one less thing to worry about. Help us decrease the alarming drowning statistics and improve successful saves.

Swim Angelfish's mission is to create a standard practice in the Learn to Swim programs that require additional training to teach swimmers with any of the following challenges: Autism, Anxiety, Discomfort, Delays, Motor, Sensory, Physical and Trauma. We offer a systematic approach to strengthen all swim curriculum.
