From feeling nervous around the water to putting their face in and blowing bubbles! 🫧 Swim lessons can feel a little spooky at first 👻 but with the right support, confidence can grow one splash at a time.

Those ribbons you see Big Blue swimmers get during lessons? They're not just for show - swimmers earn a ribbon every time they level up, and nothing makes us happier than getting to celebrate those moments with them. 💙

🧩➡️🌊 As April closes and May begins, we're reflecting on a powerful connection.

This past month, we celebrated Autism Awareness Month — honoring neurodiverse individuals, their families, and the incredible organizations doing the work every day. A heartfelt shoutout to for their unwavering commitment to empowering individuals with autism through education, life skills, and community.

Now, as we welcome Water Safety Month, we can't ignore a critical truth: drowning is the leading cause of death for children with autism. Water safety isn't just important — it's life-saving. 💙

That's why we're spotlighting , whose adaptive aquatics programs and certifications are transforming lives by teaching children of all abilities — especially those with autism and sensory differences — how to be safe, confident, and joyful in the water.

We are closed on Monday, May 29th! If your child's swim lessons are on Mondays, your May bill has already been prorated to reflect this closure. If you are unable to attend a lesson this weekend on Saturday and Sunday, make sure to put in your plan misses ahead of time. This will allow you to schedule your make-up lessons for next week.
Be safe, and have a great weekend!
