Join the Navigators Adaptive Swim Team
Your lane in the pool is waiting. Come swim with the Navigators!
The Navigators Adaptive Swim Team offers a welcoming and competitive swimming program for athletes with physical, intellectual and visual disabilities who want to improve their skills, build strength, and be part of a supportive team community. Our adaptive swim program provides professional coaching, structured practices, and opportunities to compete in regional and national adaptive swimming competitions.
Adaptive swimming is an empowering sport that builds confidence, endurance, and independence. Athletes are classified based on their disabilities, enabling swimmers with different conditions, such as amputations and cerebral palsy, to compete fairly. This system highlights the determination and resilience of each swimmer.
The Navigators offer a supportive environment for athletes, whether they are new to adaptive sports or experienced, allowing everyone to grow, compete, and succeed.
A Tradition of Excellence
The Navigators have built a strong reputation in the adaptive sports community, thanks to their dedicated coaching team led by Coach Norm, along with Coaches Stacy and Matt. For over a decade Coach Norm, has helped swimmers of all skill levels excel at regional and national competitions.

Have a physical disability or mobility impairment
