Putting your face in the water can be a big step for some swimmers.

At Rise Above Aquatics, we never rush it. We provide full support, reassurance, and hands-on guidance so our students can explore this skill at a pace that feels safe and comfortable.

For some students, success may begin with getting their chin wet, blowing bubbles, or briefly touching their face to the water. With trust, repetition, and the right support, those small steps can grow into confidence.

We meet each swimmer where they are and celebrate every step forward.

Thank you Devon for this summer!! You truly have been a great part of our team.

Communication doesn’t always look the same, and that’s okay.

At Rise Above Aquatics, we encourage our students to communicate in the way that works best for them. A student may use sign language, pictures, gestures, or spoken words to tell us what they need.

A little preparation can make a BIG difference.

At Rise Above Aquatics, we use a predictable routine with our students so they know what to expect from the moment they arrive until it’s time to go home.

Before your child’s lesson, we encourage families to show them this visual and gently walk through the steps together:

THE NEXT LEVEL RISE ABOVE SWIM SQUAD!

We are so excited to announce that Swim Squad is returning this fall and it’s growing!

For the first time,Rise Above Aquatics will be offering Swim Squad Level 1 and Level 2, giving our students an opportunity to continue progressing beyond their individualized adaptive lessons and experience the competitive side of swimming.

Swim Squad is NOT an open-registration program. Students are invited into Squad when our ownership/instructional team feels they are ready for that next challenge based on their skills, safety, confidence, consistency and independence in the water.

For many of our swimmers, reaching Swim Squad represents years of hard work. It gives them something to work toward, something to earn and another reason to be proud of how far they have come.

Level 1 will introduce swimmers to the structure, skills and expectations of squad swimming, while Level 2 will continue building endurance, technique, independence and a stronger competitive swimming experience.

This is a HUGE milestone for our program. What began as individualized adaptive swimming now has another pathway for students who are ready to take their abilities even further.

And with our growing program comes something else new… our very own Swim Squad logo!

We cannot wait to introduce our fall Squad and celebrate the swimmers who have worked so hard to reach this next level.

Different starting points. Different journeys. The opportunity to keep rising with the help with Wapiti Wellness Society!! Thank you
