We are proud to host a Special Olympics swim team as part of our commitment to making aquatics accessible, inclusive, and empowering for all athletes. Our program provides a supportive, coached environment where swimmers of all abilities can build skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of the water.

Program Mission

Our mission is to create meaningful athletic opportunities for all individuals through the sport of swimming. We focus on personal growth, teamwork, and achievement — both in and out of the pool.

Coaching & Instruction

Athletes will receive hands-on coaching from trained Nadador athletes and swim instructors who emphasize:

  • Water safety and comfort

  • Stroke development and technique

  • Endurance and strength building

  • Goal setting and sportsmanship

All practices are structured to meet swimmers at their individual ability level, ensuring safe progression and positive reinforcement.

Training Environment

We provide:

  • Scheduled weekly practices (Saturday afternoons)

  • Small coach-to-athlete ratios

  • Adaptive teaching methods

  • A welcoming, team-centered culture

Our facility is equipped to support swimmers with varying physical and cognitive needs, creating an environment where every athlete can succeed.

Competition Opportunities

Swimmers have the opportunity to train for and compete in local and regional Special Olympics competitions. Participation is always encouraged but never required — athletes may choose recreational or competitive pathways.

Community Impact

Hosting a Special Olympics team strengthens our broader swim community by promoting inclusion, volunteerism, and leadership. Teammates, families, and volunteers come together to celebrate every milestone — from first laps to podium finishes.

Get Involved

We welcome new athletes, volunteers, and supporters year-round. Whether you’re looking to join the team, volunteer on deck, or support the program, there is a place for you in our aquatics family.
