I enjoy taking my son to swim with the Special Olympics. He has always loved being in the water, but as a young child he was never able to master the art of swimming. He was so overstimulated by the experience of being in the water, that he could not focus on what his teacher was trying to teach him. I was surprised to see how well he swims now and am so glad that I didn't give up on his swimming lessons. For those of you who are not aware, children with disabilities can begin in the Special Olympics at age 8 years
