About

Swim Buddies is an inclusive swimming group for individuals with special needs from ages 4 to adulthood. The disability ranges from autism to cerebral palsy and related disabilities.

  • Volunteers will be paired up with a buddy in the water (in the shallow end of the pool!).
  • There will be a swim instructor leading the group class, and the volunteer will provide one-on-one support.
  • There will be three, 45-minute classes with three, 15-minute breaks for volunteers. 
  • Bring your swimming clothes! You will be with your buddy in the water :)
