Keep our babies alive, children with autism free swimming lessons

“As a grandmother of two beautiful children with autism, along with family members, friends, and supporters, I understand the importance of creating safe opportunities for children on the autism spectrum. Water safety is not optional—it can save lives.”

“Many children with autism are naturally drawn to water and may be at greater risk if they wander. Yet specialized swimming lessons can be expensive and out of reach for many families. Every child deserves access to life-saving swim instruction, regardless of a family’s financial situation.”

“We are calling on local recreation centers, schools, community leaders, and organizations to provide free or affordable swimming lessons designed specifically for children with autism.”

“Please join us in supporting safer communities and helping families gain access to critical water safety education.”
