9. What is our ultimate goal?
Build athletes with disabilities where they are able to learn to swim with technique and discipline. This can later allow them to participate in competitions or just swim to improve their quality of life.
10. What is the recommended number of times to come per week?
In our experience like everything else in life the more discipline and consistency, the better the results. We recommend that swimmers come 2-3 times a week. This was results are more noticeable faster, and the child can progress more consecutively. If you are coming once a week, that is more recreational but if you hope to obtain bigger results and goals, once a week will not get you there.
