Swimming for Learning Differences

Different from walking on solid ground and with gravity playing a different role, being in the water can be both freeing and unsettling. 

For those with learning differences, engaging the senses has a special place of importance in learning how to swim. The optimal learning process for those with learning differences focuses on the feel of each movement instead of the form. Function will follow feel, and form will emerge. By focusing on what it feels like to displace water, swimming becomes attainable, the process less frustrating, and the experience of being in the water more enjoyable. 

Coach Lawrence has experience with a wide range of learning challenges and has successfully helped hundreds of students learn how to swim. She understands that the manner in which strengths and weaknesses are addressed in the learning process shapes the way new information is engaged and processed. The importance of trust between student and teacher is reflected in every interaction.
