The Printed Study Guide for our Swim Whisperers® DVD has proven to be so popular that we’ve extended this special to July!

If you’re a swim instructor or aquatics professional having trouble teaching a child with sensory, motor, or anxiety issues how to swim, keep in mind that for many children, teaching swim strokes simply isn’t enough.

Before you can teach the child, you need to reach the child. And to do that, you need to understand how a child experiences the water.

The Swim Whisperers® DVD + Study Guide will show you how to overcome the obstacles that prevent children with issues like these from being safe, confident, and independent swimmers.

Order Swim Whisperers in July, and receive the printed Study Guide at no cost.

We’ve made some changes to the 2012 training workshop schedule.  The workshops in Florida previously scheduled for February have now been moved to April.

This decision was made to cut down on the amount of travel that Cindy and Ailene need to do over the next few months. They’ll be in both California and Colorado in March, then in Florida speaking at the 1st Annual NDPA (National Drowning Prevention Alliance) International Adapted Aquatics Conference on April 30th and May 1st.  So it made more sense to piggyback the workshop onto that trip.

Here’s the new Spring 2012 schedule …

• Friday & Saturday, Mar. 16th & 17th:
  Colorado Springs, CO @ Donna’s Dolphins Swim School
• Friday & Saturday, Apr. 27th & 28th:
  St. Petersburg, FL @ Tampa Bay Turners Swimming & Gymnastics

Are you already an aquatic therapy specialist, but want to refresh your skills or add new tools to your therapy toolbox? Are you a swim instructor or parent who finds it difficult to teach your children with sensory or motor issues how to swim?

If any of these apply to you, or even if you’re just new to aquatic therapy or swim instruction and want to jump start your current caseload with innovative techniques that will help you keep your clients happy, then our Angelfish Training workshops are for you!  And we’ve got two great sessions coming to the Norwalk Marriott in December, taught by licensed professionals with more than 20 years therapy experience both in and out of the water.

On December 9th, join us for our popular Totally Treatment workshop, designed for PTs and OTs who either want to enter the world of aquatic therapy, or who want boost their adaptive aquatic skill set and take full therapeutic advantage of the buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and vestibular stimulation offered by a pool environment.

On December 10th, for the first time ever, we’ll be offering our new Swim Whisperers workshop, designed for swim instructors, parents, swim school directors, PE teachers, fitness instructors, or anybody faced with a child or children who experience little to no success with traditional teaching methods.

Both workshops are filling up fast, so don’t wait another day to sign up!

It’s official.  The summer is over and the new school year is upon us.  That means it’s time for all of you parents out there to schedule your fall therapy sessions.  As you know by now, aquatic therapy does wonders for helping children remain focused, supporting their land-based therapy initiatives, and creating a level of arousal that allows them to participate in school and family activities throughout the day.  In short, it helps them become a splashing success!

Angelfish therapists can be found in the pools working with children almost every day of the week this fall, from morning to night!  CLICK HERE to see the days and times that we currently have therapist coverage for each of the nine locations you’ll find us at — in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York.  If you haven’t already, please contact us to check on time availability, to make specific arrangements with a therapist, or to let us know if you need to make scheduling arrangements for days/times that aren’t on the list.
