About SwimRVA - Autism Swims

Water is a major source of stimulation for children with autism, who are instinctively driven by their senses and impulses. Unfortunately, the National Autism Society reports that 90% of all deaths in children with autism are due to drowning, making it their number one cause of death. That’s why proper swim instruction is so critical. It can turn a dangerous relationship with water into a positive, therapeutic one that lasts a lifetime. Our instructors are all trained in ASD and know how to create calm, confidence-building experiences.
