About Play Strong
Compassionate Lessons. Confident Swimmers.
At Play Strong, we believe every child deserves a patient, positive, and personalized approach to learning how to swim. Our mission is to help children of all abilities build confidence, water safety skills, and trust — one lesson at a time.
We specialize in private and adaptive swim instruction for children with diverse learning and behavioral needs, as well as neurotypical swimmers who thrive with calm, individualized guidance. Every lesson is tailored to your child’s pace, comfort, and communication style.
What Makes Us Different
Behavior-informed instruction: Our instructors are experienced in understanding how children learn, communicate, and self-regulate. Lessons are structured with proven strategies from child development and behavioral science — helping every swimmer stay engaged, supported, and proud of their progress.
Compassionate teaching: We value patience and respect above all else. Our approach encourages trust before technique, because lasting skills begin with a positive experience in the water.
At your pool, on your schedule: We travel to you — making swim lessons convenient, familiar, and stress-free for your family.
Our Mission
To provide a safe, inclusive, and encouraging environment where every child — regardless of ability, diagnosis, or experience — can develop water safety skills and self-confidence through consistent, compassionate instruction.
A 2017 study in the American Journal of Public Health found that 91% of deaths in children with autism due to injury were from drowning. We’re dedicated to changing that statistic by making quality, understanding swim instruction accessible to every family.
Our Promise
We teach with empathy, structure, and purpose.
We celebrate progress over perfection.
And we believe every child can learn to swim — with the right support, patience, and care.
