Memorable Moment at Swim 4 All 1 - 2009

A normally reserved mum of a Autistic child standing up on her chair yelling, "Look everyone, my child is swimming," as her child dogpaddles from the teacher towards her. Then she turns to me and says, "I never actually thought she would be able to learn to swim."
Funny, being the swim school owner it was always my intent to have the child swim, but the expectations of parents of children with a disability are not like those of neurotypical children, and the joy of seeing them celebrate any success is truely wonderful."
