Special Tots

Hydro Tots is proud to announce our Special Tots swim program, specifically designed for children with special needs. The developmental swim program provides a positive outlook and emphasis on the strengths and unique attributes of each swimmer. Our program focuses on water education, developing water safety and swimming skills. The program is customized for each child’s emotional and developmental abilities, with the goal to help each child become physically active, build self-confidence and self esteem, learn the life-saving skill of swimming, and eventually to offer them another avenue for integration into a small group for high functioning special abilities children. Water therapy for children with special needs is proving to have dramatic effects on the students, teachers and families.The program is being offered at each of our facilities, all of our instructors have experience teaching Special Needs children. Each class is 30 minutes, once or twice per week. All classes are private lessons, to ensure that each child receives the necessary level of attention and instruction.

​

The special needs swim program is led by Hydro Tots Owner, Greg Galustian. Mr. Galustian, an aquatics professional with over 20 years experience, is the father of two special needs children who were both “swimming before they’re walking and talking!“
