Special Needs Private Lessons - For those who struggle to focus with a group, follow directions or who have more severe tactile sensitivity or challenges with balance.  This is an initial investment up front for safety and fun in the water for the rest of their lives.  We work on the same skills as others, but find that a more fun and child led approach helps move through any fear or resistance. For one child we might focus just on going under, but work on other skills that do not require face in, to constantly be developing the variety of skills needed so that when they are ready they can seamlessly be connected to become safe and strong in the water.   They might get backstroke first before treading, etc, but the goal is always their ability to handle themselves and be safe!
