Swim Angelfish is an adaptive swim lesson program for individuals with learning or developmental disabilities. Lessons are offered in small group, private and semi-private options. Instructors are certified as Swim Whisperers through Swim Angelfish and help work through the 14 roadblocks that individuals with developmental or physical disabilities typically face around the water.
