The Younger, The Safer
Adaptive Aquatics
Specializing in Autism
We firmly believe that swim lessons should be accessible to all children, irrespective of their abilities. Our founder, Heidi Wallace Leftwich, is a certified Swim-Float-Survive specialist with a deep commitment to meeting each child where they are in their swimming journey. With her expertise, she can effectively teach children with Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and other developmental delays, as well as those who are extremely anxious or have experienced aquatic trauma.
While it may take some children longer to acquire swimming skills, Heidi remains dedicated to helping them succeed. The therapeutic benefits of swimming for these children are truly remarkable.
On a personal note, Heidi, who has a non-speaking autistic son herself, understands the unique challenges faced by families with children on the autism spectrum. In her lessons, she employs various techniques, such as purposeful motor, visual schedules, and token economy, to effectively communicate and connect with her swimmers. Autistic children, particularly non-speaking autistic individuals, often experience full-body apraxia, which creates a disconnect between the brain and body. This condition can only be addressed by building a motor plan.
We encourage you to contact us before enrolling in Adaptive Aquatics. We offer discounts and scholarships to make our program more accessible. Heidi will collaborate with you to create a successful and enriching swimming experience for your child.
Additionally, Heidi has obtained extra certification through Swimming with Autism and is a Spell 2 Communicate (S2C) Practioner in training, further enhancing her expertise in working with autistic children.

#SwimForOllie Memorial Swim Scholarship
Meet Ollie
Ollie, 3, was a bright, happy and busy child with a deep love of Sesame Street, The Wiggles, bananas, pizza, cookies, cuties, french fries, banana bread and apple juice. He loved to sing his ABCs, count to 19, point out letters and colors, sing, dance, flap and show off his happy feet. He was an entertainer on any elevated surface but did not perform for the camera. He enjoyed eating on top of the table, playing in muddy puddles, being outside, listening to music, playing games on his tablet, taking hats off of Momma's and Daddy's heads, playing "Where's Ollie?" and "Patty Cake," cuddling with his soft blue blanket and resting in the arms of Momma and Daddy. He began and ended each day with a banana and apple juice and slept comfortably
between his Mom and Dad every night. His favorite phrases were "Are you ready?," "Well, cookie time!" "Well, pizza!, "and "Feed with purpose." His first word was "happy”
Ollie drowned in a creek across the street from his house after bolting from his house and finding water. 50% of autistic children wonder, and nearly all of them will go straight to water. Little dipper survival swim, Created a scholarship in Ollie‘s name to provide scholarships to autistic children specifically for this reason.
