Be a Swim Buddy! Help children with disabilities learn water safety and swim skills.
Adaptive Aquatics volunteers work with swim instruction staff and are in the pool to support children with learning and practicing water safety and swim skills. Program participants are elementary and middle school age children with disabilities. Program is offered in partnership with Bend La Pine Schools.
The program is offered on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, 9:30 to 11:30 am. Volunteers typically help either Tuesday or Thursday morning each week.
Volunteers must complete a volunteer application and a criminal history background check is processed. Volunteers receive training and work closely with staff throughout the program.
