Welcome to the One with the Water Family

Our Mission: Provide everyone access to the lifesaving skill of swimming, especially children and adults with high risk, high needs, and limited resources.

photo-goshiggygo-com_-16Many children most at risk of accidental drowning are often the same children who don’t have the resources needed to be safe and successful in the water. At One with the Water, we believe everyone should be able to learn the life-saving skill of swimming, particularly the most vulnerable members of our community, and we know you do too.

We also know life with special needs can be unpredictable, challenging, and isolating. That’s why, in addition to our regular infant, child, and adult swim lessons, we developed an Adaptive Athletes program to train athletes from elementary age through high school and beyond. Our coaches are certified and equipped to manage ADD & ADHD, Anxiety, Autism Spectrum, Down and CHARGE syndrome, Sensory Integration Issues, auditory processing disorders, amputation, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, spinal cord injury, obesity, and more. We train all of our swimmers to be confident, courageous, successful and safe.

When our adaptive athletes begin training, expert coaches assess their unique needs and design a custom training plan to build their awareness and confidence in the water. They learn what success looks like, both in competition, and in life.

In addition, swimming provides measurable health and therapeutic benefits for our special needs community in and out of the water. From better balance and gross motor skills, to improved speech and communication, our athletes are changing their lives by learning to swim. Their risk of accidental drowning plummets by 88%. Being a part of a team reduces isolation and creates positive peer relationships that carry over outside of the pool, and they have the confidence to conquer their fears.
