District 1 Councilperson Janna Zurita Presents
Autism Adventurers Swim Club Swimming provides an invaluable therapy and social outlet for children with
autism. Swimming can help an autistic child improve their speech, coordination, social skills, self-esteem,
and cognitive processing. Safety is the initial skill we teach in this class. Making sure children are safe in
and around the water is our primary concern. They learn to float on their back and yell for help. From there,
children are taught the skills of swimming, starting with proper breathing techniques. Please join me as we
launch our third season of the Autism Adventurers Swim Club.
