Free Adapted Swim Program for People with Disabilities

Week of July 8 – Week of August 22

The Adapted Aquatics program is free and offers two activities:

2. Swim instruction that focuses on becoming comfortable in the water and learning basic swimming and safety skills.

    I have osteoarthritis, and doing the gym exercises is to painful right now. I would love to be a part of Adaptive swimming lessons that are given. Thank you.
