Swimming · Ages not published
Adaptive swim lessons for children, youth and adults with intellectual disabilities and physical limitations, taught at the Bellevue Aquatic Center. The program writes an individual lesson plan for each swimmer and uses tools such as picture cards to teach water safety and swimming skills. New swimmers start with private lessons; lessons with a friend or in a group of three, as a step toward a swim team, are offered at the instructor's discretion after an evaluation. The owner is described as a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist who has taught swimmers with disabilities at the pool for 19 years. Bring a completed waiver to the first session; the site lists what else to bring.
