My son started with Swim Angelfish 5 years ago due to low muscle tone and sensory issues. He went from being petrified of the water to being a very strong swimmer. He has made so much progress that he is now able to be a member of the Swim Group at the local YMCA. Every child is different and every child learns differently, they took the time to determine the best way to engage my son and helped him flourish.
