Some of the most meaningful work we get to do at Arizona Mobile Swim happens when access meets opportunity. This season, that opportunity is here in a big way thanks to White Mountain Helping Hands.
They have generously funded adaptive swim lessons for eight local swimmers, removing one of the biggest barriers families face when it comes to water safety: cost.
This isn’t just about learning to swim.
It’s about confidence. Independence. And giving families one less thing to worry about.
What This Scholarship Includes
Selected swimmers will receive:
- Private swim lessons
- Individualized, adaptive instruction
- A supportive, sensory-conscious environment
- A strong focus on real-life water safety skills
All lessons are provided through Arizona Mobile Swim at our Show Low or Taylor, AZ locations, with programming designed to meet swimmers where they are physically and developmentally.
Program Details
- Lessons are expected to begin in June or July
- Swimmers will participate in 6–8 total lessons (maximum of 8 lessons)
- Lessons will be scheduled at least once per week
- For best results, 2–4 lessons per week are strongly recommended when facilities allow
This structure is designed to build consistency while still allowing flexibility for families.
Eligibility Criteria
To be considered, applicants must:
- Reside in the White Mountains area (Pinetop-Lakeside, Show Low, Snowflake, Taylor, and surrounding communities)
- Have a swimmer with special needs who would benefit from adaptive instruction
- Be available to attend scheduled lessons during the program session
- Agree to a third-party photo and media release for both Arizona Mobile Swim and White Mountain Helping Hands
- Complete a short intake process if selected
Priority will be given to families with demonstrated need and limited access to specialized swim services.
Families who do not qualify for this application, may want to consider our traditional swim lesson scholarship, though funds are limited.
