Gooo Gavin! I like seeing him at the outdoor pool! Learning to take his skills to a new environment is so important.
Woof woof!
I love the pink snorkel!! It matches her outfit!
Good job
My daughter 5years of age does this. Doesn't like harnesses. Trying to see what works for other parents
Awesome swim instructor!
I love this! If only California swim schools would add Swim Angelfish tips, kids with special needs would be taught better!
We’re so happy you’re enjoying our tips and strategies!! 🐠
Our techniques can be added to any swim curriculum once the swim instructor has taken our Swim Whisperers® certification! Swim schools and parents can encourage their instructors to take our adaptive online training so the instructor(s) can become certified in Swim Whisperers® - our Swim Angelfish methodology! swimangelfish.com/get-certified-swim-whisperers-adaptive-aquatics-program/
I bet Ben could be in the Olympics
I am a witness of how much Swim Angelfish can help! My special son is swimming, safe and happy in the water. Thanks to all the teachers he had at Angelfish
THIS is why we love what we do! We are so happy for you and your family. Thank you for your kind words!
I was a certified water aerobics instructor years ago... are you certified? Or because its adaptive its a new concept?
Hi! We love your interest and dedication to water aerobics! All our instructors are certified in the adaptive Swim Whisperers methodology, which equips them with in-demand adaptive aquatic skills and knowledge address the sensory and motor challenges in swimmers with special needs and ALL abilities. We had just gotten back from the AEA IAFTC conference and were so inspired by what could be possible for special needs swimmers. The purpose of our adaptive water aerobics is to add in more fun to an Adaptive Swim Group lesson to increase social interaction and coordination for kids with autism, sensory or motor challenges. We hope this helps! 🩵🩷🐠
Whay are they with oppisite sex children . I wouldnt feel comfortable with a man with my little girl . Is that just me ?
Hi! We understand there are sometimes strong feelings about this. We usually honor that preference of male or female instructor. It does depend on scheduling, of course, but most people with a certain preference will typically wait (if necessary) to get the instructor they want. We hope this helps!
This is advertising.
Hi! 🐠 Our Adaptive Water Safety Toolkit is one of the many free resources we offer. When it comes to water safety, we are dedicated to spreading awareness and support existing Water Safety initiatives by offering extra layers of protection with these adaptive safety tips for special needs swimmers.
Thanks you so much
Yaaaaay Jackson! 🎉
Great video and Great organization. I wish I could be at that pool to make the water a little more clear. But great message either way
I wish you could also!!!
It is extremely important to discuss with the parent regarding this if they swim outside of lessons. Extreme breath holding can lead to shallow water hypoxia due to the build of Co2 in the body.
Yes and please share and post the adaptive toolkit located on swim angelfish home page
Wonderful Video
Thanks Wendy and please share the adaptive resources with your team in Asheville!!

Such a well-spoken endorsement Carlos. Love your enthusiasm.

I can't find the thermal wetsuit vest you presented. Can you provide a link specifically to that product?
Thanks for watching the video. That product was by a company called wet vest. Now I get similar items on amazon and just search kids wetsuit jackets, or wetsuit vests.
Wet regards from Brazil 🌷🐾❤️😻🐢🐊🌳💐🌺🐠💐🌺🐝🌈💜

Great going Noah... I was keen to know if breaststroke is better I guess as front breathing is easier for kids on the spectrum
The symmetry of breast stroke is easier for them to motor plan!
Courageous little boy
Great tips! ❤
