Description

Swim Buddies is an inclusive, adaptive swim program designed to teach water safety and fundamental swim skills to participants with special needs and physical disabilities 4 years and up. The program focuses on building confidence, improving swimming skills, and promoting safe water habits in a supportive and engaging environment.  

Obtain 4 volunteer hours each day! 

Volunteer Role: 

As a Swim Buddies Volunteer, you will be paired one on one with a participant to provide encouragement and hands on support during swim instruction. Volunteers assist participants with:  

  • Practicing swim skills and techniques presented by swim instructors 

  • Providing motivation and positive reinforcement 

  • Helping ensure safety and comfort in the water 

  • Building meaningful connections through patience and play 

What to Bring and Wear:  

To best support our participants, volunteer should come prepared with: 

  • Appropriate swim attire (e.g., full coverage one-piece swimsuit, or swim shorts and a t-shirt)  

  • Sun protection (sunscreen, hat, etc.)  

  • Towel and change of clothes 

  • Reusable water bottle to stay hydrated 

 

No prior swim instruction or swim experience is required – just a positive attitude and a willingness to support individuals with varying needs in the water.  

 

Please join the band app to receive updates regarding volunteer opportunities. While programming, I do not receive messages via Give Pulse. Either message me on Band or text/call at 954-270-1953.
