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.

Water has practically been my second home! I grew up on a swim team and started by helping coach beginner swimmers, which naturally grew into teaching lessons. I have been teaching swim lessons since February 2019. I love helping swimmers build confidence, feel safe, and truly enjoy being in the water. My goal is to help each swimmer, from infant to adult, make real progress while developing a lifelong love for the pool. Whether youre just getting comfortable in the water or working on refining your strokes, I strive to create a positive, encouraging environment where we can dive right in and build strong, lasting swim skills.

Hi, my name is Marcella and I've been a swim instructor since 1995. I teach all ages but my favorite students are young children because taking them on the journey of reluctance or fear of water to being safe while having fun in the water is very gratifying. While employed at a community foundation for DD adults, my favorite part of the curriculum was "swim day". Teaching students how to have fun in the water while placing safety first has always been my priority.
