Swim Stars August/September 2024

In 2021 we launched the first adaptive swim program designed specifically for children with autism in Virginia Beach. Since the start of the program, over 80 children have participated in this life-changing program focused on water safety and basic swim skills for children with autism.

*Attendance is required at all 6 swim sessions! If you are familiar with our other Hope Stars programs, Swim Stars is a little bit different. Consistency and repetition are very important aspects of this program, and the Eliza Hope Foundation pays for instructors and pool space so it is important that sessions do not get missed. There is an extremely high demand for this program and if you know you cannot attend at least 7/8 of the sessions we ask that you please leave the opportunity for someone else who can.

This program would not be possible without the support of our amazing partners at the Chartway Promise Foundation and Swim Angelfish. We are so grateful for the community partners that made this dream a reality.
