Many children with special needs have problems with confidence, but successfully learning a new skill like swimming with the help of a special needs swim instructor can make all the difference.

It improves their fitness & strength

Special needs children can benefit from the improvement of strength and fitness that comes with our swim lessons, making them healthier and more capable.

Improve coordination & range of motion

Swimming is an activity that improves balance, coordination and range of motion, all things that many special needs children struggle with. Our talented special needs swim instructors can help your child improve their skills in each area as they learn to swim.

Hi! Please call me Margo! I have been working with children since February 2019, and safety and comfort have always been a huge passion of mine. I have taught in both swim school settings and through private lessons with families I nanny for. Growing up, we had a pool in our backyard, and I loved pretending to teach swim lessons to my friends, so this has always been a big love of mine! I am currently pursuing my bachelors degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders on the path to speech pathology. I believe swim lessons should feel encouraging and fun! I always take a calm and patient approach to help each child feel comfortable and confident in the water. I cant wait to cheer your child on as they learn and gain confidence in the water!

Hello! My name is Charyl Moran, and I love to swim, but that was not an innate process for me. I almost drowned when I was 5 years old. Thankfully, my older sister heard me struggling and came to my rescue. I am a strong swimmer now, and I 100% believe that anyone can learn to swim no matter what their previous experiences or fears have been. My objective is to give the student their own personal set of skills to overcome fear(s) and feel confident in the water. That is, confidence with safety and respect for water. I really look forward to the opportunity to teach you and/or your loved ones. There is nothing better than seeing a student progress and finally swim like a fish! Thank you, Charyl Moran

This ranged from 5 months to 10-12 years. I am now 23 and have been blessed with my wonderful 2-year-old nephew, with whom I have had the absolute pleasure of starting lessons. This is exactly what sparked that passion I had as a teen for teaching young ones to swim! Learning to swim is an extremely important life skill that I believe can be taught successfully at any age. I will always make learning in the water fun and enjoyable while guaranteeing your child is safe and properly educated.
