FEAT (Special Needs)
(Students accepted into program based on availability and evaluation by Fun Fins staff) |
Welcome to Get Your FEAT Wet! This program has been specifically designed with your child in mind. Not only are all of our Fun Fins Swim School staff trained and experienced in working with children who have special needs, we also have a certified lifeguard on deck and a behavioral therapist in the water to make sure that your child will get the most out of every lesson.
Our Philosophy/Objectives:
We want your child’s swim skills to improve as well as their ability to be comfortable in the pool and with their instruction. (For some children, this may take a considerable amount of time.)
Here at Fun Fins Swim School, we want to teach your child how to swim using creative techniques and gentle methods. We understand that every child learns in a different manner. This is why your child will only be expected to learn at their own pace.
Last but not least, we want the experience to be FUN! Our goal is for your child to leave the pool area with a smile on their face and an eagerness to return.
Curriculum:
Our curriculum focuses on each child’s individual needs and abilities. Your child’s comfort level in the water as well as their swimming ability will determine the skills that he/she will be working on.
Our FEAT classes take place on Friday evenings from 4:00-7:00. Each lesson is a private one-on-one lesson and is a half an hour long. This program is currently full. If you would like to be placed on the waiting list please contact:
