When teaching a child with autism to swim,

you are also helping to build their muscular

strength, improve their speech and language,

and further self esteem and confidence

We are delighted at the amount of love and support

we receive each and every day from families who

are amazed at what their child with autism is able to

accomplish in our Swim with Mr. Blue learn to swim

Not only are our children with autism swimming in

our program, but they are also kissing their moms on

the cheek for the first time, singing Mr. Blue songs,

and even talking about swimming with Mr. Blue

when they drive onto premises.
