The 2022 Pool PALS Program is Now Full

Thank you for your interest in the Pool Pals Swim program.  We are sorry to advise that, due to increased demand, our swim lessons are currently full for the remainder of 2022. 

The Autism Society San Diego in collaboration with Aqua Pros Swim School is dedicated to providing high quality, consistent aquatic programs for children and adults with autism and their families. Because many families living in the area are near the ocean and swimming pools, it is of high priority to our organization that as many children and adults with autism learn to swim to avoid drowning.

The Autism Society San Diego is pleased to announce that San Diego Regional Center will now fund swim lessons as part of the new social recreational funding that has become available to San Diego Regional Center clients. We are actively working on growing this program so that we can accommodate more participants in the future.
 
We appreciate your patience in the meantime, and hope to provide quality water safety and swim instruction to as many community members as possible.
