💙 Inclusive Swim Lessons

A safe space in the water for every swimmer.

🌈 Everyone Belongs in the Pool

At Live. Love. Swim!, I specialize in working with children and adults with diverse learning, sensory, emotional, and physical needs. I understand that traditional swim environments don’t always feel welcoming or accommodating—so I created a space that is.

👩🏾‍🏫 About Me

I’m a certified educator, school leader, and swim coach with over 20 years of experience working with:

  • Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
  • Individuals with Down Syndrome
  • Swimmers with sensory sensitivities
  • Adults with physical disabilities or mobility limitations
  • Neurodiverse learners of all ages
  • Anyone who hasn’t felt safe or supported in a traditional swim setting

I bring a trauma-informed, culturally responsive lens to every lesson—combining classroom strategies, leadership training, and swim coaching to meet each swimmer exactly where they are.

🧠 What to Expect in These Lessons:

  • Clear routines and visual cues
  • Quiet instruction with breaks as needed
  • Communication and collaboration with parents/guardians
  • Respect for sensory needs, mobility challenges, and learning differences
  • Focus on safety, trust, and confidence-building

Whether your swimmer needs extra time to adjust, gentle encouragement, or a fully customized approach, I will create a plan that works for them—and for you.
