Swim Programs
These documents were created to educate swim program staff, participants, and caregivers on the diverse areas that can influence health and wellbeing, as well as swimming performance.
What makes occupational therapy unique in this area? We take a whole-occupation approach, meaning we target all the areas that play a role in water-based activities. We help maximize not only engagement in activities, but function, satisfaction, safety, purpose, and meaning.
