Safety Before Skill is a certified Swim Angelfish Swim Whisperers.  Swim Angelfish is an adaptive swim program that provides training and certifications for special needs and Autism swim lessons.   The certification consists of 16 hours of classroom study and monthly continuing education.

We are also certified with the internationally recognized Starfish Aquatics Institute Children with Challenges and Adapted Aquatics programs. The Children with Challenges Course was developed as a collaborative effort between the Aquatic Therapy and Rehab Institute (ATRI), USA Swimming, USA Swimming Foundation, and Starfish Aquatics Institute (SAI). 

Safety Before Skill partners with Arkansas Children's Hospital in drown prevention and Dennis Developmental center by attending Autism Training as it relates to coaching swim lessons.   


We Offer a Private Special Needs Online Profile  ​

We understand that sometimes the details really do matter.
Safety Before Skill partners with Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) and the Dennis Developmental Center to provide additional internal coach education regarding special needs, social stories, and a questionnaire for parents to communicate effectively with their coach.

We offer each parent the opportunity to complete online the "Special Needs Swimmer Profile," designed by Clinicians at ACH and the Dennis Developmental Center. It is a valuable communication tool between the parent and coach.

The link below will guide you to a private form that is emailed directly to Client Services where it will be posted to your private dashboard in our registration system. By completing the questionnaire, you are providing direct communication to the coach regarding your swimmers specific needs.   Please call to schedule your lesson time before completing the form below.
