Jr’s Swim Schools works to provide swim lessons to families who may not be able to afford them, as well as help those with disabilities. Their goals are to teach everyone basic water safety skills that could potentially save lives. Jr’s Swim School teaches many children with cognitive and physical disabilities or delays and helps them become aware of water safety. They teach the basics of water safety to beginners and continue all the way through to stroke development for advanced swimmers. They keep their staff very small to ensure families that everyone on their team is highly-trained and qualified. They work with any age group, but their specialty is working with kids aged 3-12 and have worked with 130 people within the past six months, with about 55 being disabled.
