（24-25高一下·广东深圳·期中）The owner of a business is hoping to help save lives by offering adaptive swim lessons to children and adults with disabilities. The classes are taught by Julie Cordiero and her staff at Jr’s Swim School. Cordiero says she came up with the idea when she saw a specific need while teaching swim lessons at another school in 2017.
“The number one cause of accidental death among kids with autism (自闭症) is drowning (溺水), and in Arizona, there are pools everywhere.” said Cordiero. “Autistic children are easily attracted to large bodies of water. so they might not have safety skills when they want to jump into a body of water.” Cordiero added
Cordiero’s classes teach survival skills, balance and strength to children with special needs in a personalized way. “We see a lot of different sensory levels and needs at our swim school and our staff really does have the training strategies to work through those appropriately,” said Cordiero. Cordiero also has regular meetings with students’ families, and after each meeting. Cordiero will adapt each swim lesson to help set each student up for success.
Ann Snyder says her son James is nonverbal (不会说话的) and has loved the water now more than ever since he started taking classes at Jr’s Swim School. Aimee Craumer, whose 11-year-old daughter Macayla takes classes, says safety boundaries are taught repeatedly and that gives their family peace of mind.
Instructors at Jr’s Swim School are devoted to helping those with disabilities become more confident in the water, and they use nontraditional teaching methods to help students overcome the most common barriers they see during swim lessons. “We want to create something that is unique and really suits a population that is just as worthy of learning a lifesaving skill as the rest of the population. A lot of passion and patience goes into what we do but we are making a huge difference and that is a good feeling,” said Cordiero.
