About Dorsal Fin Aquatics
At Dorsal Fin Aquatics, our mission is to create a community where all children can learn to swim in a safe and supportive environment. We believe swimming is a fundamental life skill--one that can be both fun and rewarding when taught with patience, and individualized instruction.
​
Our swim lessons are tailored to each swimmer's individual needs and skill level, helping them build comfort in the water while progressing at their own pace. We are especially passionate about providing sensory-friendly instruction that creates a welcoming, space for children who may benefit from a more personalized approach.
​
Our coach, Nya, believes swimming is a universal joy that should be experienced in the safest and most rewarding way possible, and that no one should be excluded from it. Guided by this belief and her work as an ABA therapist, Coach Nya has developed a sensory-friendly swim program for children on the autism spectrum, ensuring that more swimmers have the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in the water.
