Swimming

Inspire to dream big.

Green Mountain Adaptive Sports believes in the power of sports to change lives. We have partnered with four different pools in Vermont to offer swim lessons to Vermont youth and adults with disabilities. The program focuses on providing acclimation to the aquatic environment, stroke work, and competition swimming.

Choose the pool that is most convenient for you and your family, and apply for a scholarship consisting of 5 lessons.

The Greater Burlington YMCA
The Upper Valley Aquatics Center in White River Junction
The Green Mountain Community Fitness in Berlin **
The Swimming Hole in Stowe (not available at this time.)

Our adaptive swim coaches have completed our trainings and background checks, and many are certified with Angelfish. We are looking forward to working with athletes of all ages and ability.

If you are interested in becoming an adaptive aquatics instructor, or would like to further your existing certifications, GMAS has grants available to help cover some of the costs associated with various trainings and workshops. Read more and apply here.

** The Aquatics area at GMCF will be receiving a long-anticipated makeover which will create a better experience for years to come. The pool and aquatics area will be closed starting May 28th, 2024. Operations will continue as normal until May 27th (closed in observance of Memorial Day). Starting on the 28th of May, the entire Aquatics area will be closed and off-limits to members and staff not directly involved with the project for everyone’s safety. They expect the work to continue for 7 weeks. However, due to the nature of this project, it is not possible to exactly predict how long it will take. GMCF will not be offering swim lessons during the renovation time period, but awarded credits toward lessons will be extended if need be.
