Hi Everyone!
Making Waves McMaster is a non-for-profit club that provides one-on-one swimming instruction for visually impaired children between the ages of 3-18.. Our mission is to help these children develop basic swimming skills and water safety knowledge, as well as increase their comfort levels in water environments. Through one-on-one instruction and special teaching techniques, they will be given the opportunity to learn valuable aquatic skills. These children will also be given the opportunity to enrich their social skills and form new friendships.
The session runs for 8 weeks starting September 26 and continue every Saturday from 12-1 p.m at the swimming pool at the David Braley Athletic Center. We feel that this program greatly benefits the Hamilton community by enriching the lives of children with special needs, as well as offering an opportunity for university students to participate in a gratifying volunteer experience.
We are in search of student volunteers that are interested and committed to our club. If you are interested, please visit our website at www.makingwavesmcmaster.org for more details or send us an email at mcmasterblindswim@gmail.com!
See you all in September!
