The Nashville Dolphins is an aquatics program for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Programs are free to all thanks to community support!

It is the Nashville Dolphins' mission to combat the alarming statistics of drowning deaths in children and adults with special needs. We provide FREE, lifelong, water safety and comprehensive adaptive aquatic programming for the special needs' community. Our participants are empowered to experience the joy and pride of being a lifetime member of the Nashville Dolphins team at no cost. We strive to enhance the quality and safety of the daily lives for both our participants and their family members by delivering comprehensive adaptive aquatic programs within a safe and socially supportive community environment. The Dolphins welcomes volunteers (in and out of the water) at any of our swim practices, classes, or social activities. No experience is necessary, just a kind heart and a willingness to learn. Volunteering with our swimmers will be one of the most rewarding, fun experiences you've ever done. Fill out a volunteer application at http://nashvilledolphins.org/get-involved or contact Brenda Vroon, [email protected] to learn more about current volunteer opportunities.

October is Blindness Awareness Month! 🩵

Swimming is about so much more than what we see. For individuals who are blind or have low vision, techniques like verbal cues, tactile guidance, and adaptive instruction can make navigating the water more accessible.

This month, we're celebrating independence, breaking down misconceptions, and recognizing the many ways people experience the world! ✨

October is Dwarfism Awareness Month! 💚

Dwarfism encompasses hundreds of conditions, each with unique characteristics and experiences. By challenging misconceptions and creating accessible spaces, we can help build a more inclusive world.
