Swimming Lessons

  • Caregivers may reduce the financial burden of swimming lessons by applying for a grant of up to $2,000 through the Flutie Foundation.
  • Swimming lessons may also be billed as a medical service if provided by a specialist such as an occupational therapist. Reach out to the Massachusetts Insurance Resource Center or talk to your provider for more information.
  • Information about adaptive swim lesson providers can be found on the Learn to Swim! Page
