Sensory Swimming Lessons

Sensory swimming lessons provide a calm, supportive and flexible learning environment for swimmers who may benefit from extra support in the water.

These lessons are designed for swimmers with unique sensory needs who may feel overwhelmed by noise, busy pool environments, transitions or new activities.

Instructors use adapted teaching strategies to help swimmers feel comfortable and successful in the water, including:

• visual cues
• clear routines
• a slower lesson pace
• extra processing time
• gentle encouragement

Lessons focus on building confidence and safety in the water and basic swimming skills. Depending on the swimmer’s comfort level and goals, lessons may include:

• water adjustment
• floating
• kicking
• submersion readiness
• basic swim progressions
• water safety skills
