Swimming

Something For All Skill Levels

Easter Seals NL’s Swim Program offers participants a 30-minute, one-on-one swimming session led by a volunteer or support worker/guardian in a safe and supportive environment.

Each session is personalized to focus on the participant’s individual goals—whether it’s getting comfortable putting their face in the water, building leg strength, or practicing in the deep end. The program is designed to help each swimmer progress at their own pace and achieve meaningful milestones.


Easter Seals NL Swim Program is divided into two separate registration.

ESNL Volunteer

By registering for the ESNL Volunteer Program, participants will be paired one-on-one with a dedicated volunteer for the duration of the session. Our volunteers work closely with participants to ensure they are enjoying their time in the pool while working toward their individual swimming goals. While not all volunteers are certified instructors, they are confident swimmers who share a passion for the water and aim to foster that same love in our participants. Each pairing is thoughtfully matched based on the swimmer’s goals and the volunteer’s strengths.

Swim with Me

By registering for Swim with Me, participants will have access to the same swim time as all other swimmers. However, during this session, each participant must be accompanied in the pool by a support person, as a dedicated volunteer will not be provided. A lead volunteer or staff member will be available to offer assistance when possible. Swim with Me allows us to accommodate more swimmers and provides greater flexibility in scheduling.


The Spring 2025 season will run for six weeks, beginning on April 28 and ending on June 9. Please note there will be no session on May 19 due to a scheduled cancellation.

Cost: $60.00

Registration begins on April 4th at 12:00pm NOON. To register, Click Here

  • Stories of Success

“When my son was younger he and his friends used to play all the time. As his friends grew up they started to play stand-up sports and he began to feel left out. This all changed when he found Easter Seals. Here he feels included with life-long friends. I can’t describe the pride I feel when I see him laughing at wheelchair basketball.”
