Swimming Modifications 

Beginner Tips

  • Swimming in the shallow end (stay in an area you could stand-in)

  • Swimming along the pool edge so can grab the wall quickly

  • Keeping head above water or use a snorkel

Physical Adaptations​

  • Use water proof wheelchairs with ramps to enter the water

  • Use a floatation device to help stay afloat while continuing to swim

  • Have an assistant help guide swimming exercises 

  • Use audio cueing from waterproof headphones to assist with visual limitations 

These lists is by no means exhaustive
