Swim Safety with Wyatt from British Swim School

In this episode of DSACO: Up for Discussion, we sit down with Wyatt from British Swim School to talk all about swim safety, adaptive swim lessons, and the importance of water confidence for individuals with Down syndrome.

As summer begins and families spend more time around pools, lakes, and water parks, this conversation is an important reminder that water safety can truly save lives. Wyatt shares practical tips for parents, discusses how swim lessons can be adapted for different learning styles, and explains why swimming is such an important life skill for self-advocates.

You may remember Wyatt from our Spring Break Swim Camp with DSACO, and we were so excited to bring him onto the podcast to continue this important conversation!
