Why the Water Kids (students) generally love
the water Safety: if possible everyone
should be able to stay afloat Great form of cardiovascular
exercise involving the whole body

Freeing environment, help foster independence (leave the wheelchair and the crutches on the side)
Therapeutic pools (88-92 degrees) help relieve pain and promotes relaxation and joint mobility
– Contraindicated for MS
Immersion in water improves: Stroke volume, cardiac
output, work of breathing, oxygen delivery, blood flow…
Increase range of motion Reeducation of paralyzed
muscles Improved muscle strength
and endurance Stimulates the senses (skin
balance, visual, auditory) Can be too much for
students with autism
