Aquatics Programs
The San Diego County Chapter of the ASA in collaboration with Aqua Pros Swim School is dedicated to providing high quality, consistent aquatic programs for children and adults with autism and their families. Because many families living in the area are near the ocean and swimming pools, it is of high priority to our organization that as many children and adults with autism learn to swim to avoid drowning. Pool PALS was created by the SDASA in 2002 to help meet this need. The Splash for Cash is our annual fundraiser to support this program.
