Polo Buddies is a beginner level water polo and swimming class for boys and girls ages 8 - 15. It’s a combined class with typical kids as well as kids with Asperger’s, anxiety, or ADHD.
Students must be deep end safe, meaning that if they were dropped in the deep end of the pool they could safely make it to the side. They must also be able to follow verbal directions and work in a group class setting. This class is designed as an inclusive class for kids who are moderate to high functioning. For those students who may be more severe or require one on one attention, we recommend the private adaptive classes at the pools we teach at.
We are currently at Splash La Mirada and the Fullerton YMCA. For videos on our program and more information on classes, please go to www.polobuddies.com. You can also email the director of the program David Farkas at davidfarkas@mac.com.
