Autism Swims

Every child deserves to learn how to swim, especially children with autism. This carefully-designed lesson program is a one-on-one autism-specific engagement tool, led by coaches who confidently guide each individual child’s trajectory.

Private Swim Lessons

Private lessons are exactly that — private. With one-on-one attention, a student will work with their instructor with the whole pool to themselves.

Our Drownproof Richmond Initiative

SwimRVA strives to break barriers of age, race, income and disability to ensure that every person in our area has access to aquatic-based programming. This goal is achieved through water safety, aquatic fitness and workforce development outreach programs within the greater Richmond region.

Specifically through a partnership with the YMCA of Greater Richmond, SwimRVA is dedicated to our Drownproof Richmond Initiative. Our overall goal is to provide swimming lessons for every second grader in our community. Each second grader in all the schools we work with is able to access 45-minute sessions for seven weeks — completely free of charge.

Benefits of SwimRVA’s Lessons

At SwimRVA, we use seven stations to guide our swim students through a curriculum. Station one will contain more basic techniques while holding onto the wall and will eventually lead you to swimming on your own by station seven. Once a student masters a station, they get to ring the SwimRVA Bell of Success, receiving a joyous response from our instructors, other participants and observing parents.

Even in group settings, our program is personalized for each student, so they are continuously building and improving their skills. We foster an immediate advancement strategy through our stations so you can see your progress and stay motivated.

SwimRVA Swim School Virtual Training Center

SwimRVA offers a virtual training center to help you stay active, healthy and fit — all from your living room. Here you will find videos, articles and workouts to help you or your child keep your skills up between lessons.
