Swimming with autism
by Beth
We were so pleased to hear that the Ventura County Star in California featured photos of 10-year-old Gabriel Moraga with the Titans Water Polo Club in a photo gallery in their paper. Gabriel has autism, and he learned to swim through a program at Easter Seals Tri-Counties when he was 8 years old.
The Easter Seals Tri-Counties Adaptive Aquatics Swim Program gives children and adults with autism and other disabilities an opportunity to increase fitness, coordination, and confidence in a warm-water recreational pool.
Gabriel started playing water polo after he learned to swim, and one of the photo captions says joining the team is “a move that has improved his quality of life with Autism.”
Go, Gabriel, go!
