Providing aquatic therapy and adaptive swim instruction for children throughout Jacksonville and the surrounding areas

11/07/2026

Our founder, Dr. Ashley Plummer, had the opportunity to guest lecture today at the University of North Florida to students in the PRIME-PEDS cohort. This 12-week program is for UNF undergraduate and graduate students interested in pediatric rehabilitation and biomedical research. Students work in interdisciplinary teams on child-centered research projects focused on improving mobility, health, and quality of life for children with disabilities or orthopedic conditions. The students had a variety of majors from computer science and electrical engineering to kinesiology and behavioral neuroscience. Ashley was able to provide a clinician’s perspective, share current ways technology is used in pediatric rehabilitation, and provide ways that technological advancements could enhance the lives of children she treats.

It has been ONE year since our Physical Therapist Assistant, Lori, joined the Jax Kids Aquatics team!

We are so thankful to have her, and I know all of our families are too. Her passion for aquatics and her caring spirit truly set her apart.

Happy Anniversary, Lori! We are so lucky to have you on our team!

We are so excited and grateful to share that Jax Kids Aquatics has received the Step Into Swim grant again this year!

A huge thank you to Step Into Swim for continuing to invest in water safety and helping organizations like ours reach more children and families in our community.

This grant is especially meaningful to us because it helps us to bridge the gap for families who may not otherwise be able to afford adaptive swim lessons. We are always looking for ways to make sure every child has access to the skills and support they need to be safer around water.

Water safety is incredibly important for every child, but is especially critical for many of the children we serve, including children with autism who are at an increased risk for drowning. Teaching water safety and survival skills can truly be life-saving.

Stay tuned! We will be announcing soon how families can apply for Step Into Swim grant funds!

Our hearts are broken to hear about another sweet child in our community who has drowned.

Please make water safety a priority. Enroll your child in swim lessons as early as possible, especially if they have autism or are at risk of wandering.

If you live in Duval County and have a child who may be prone to wandering, please register them for the R.E.V.A.M.P. program through the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. It could truly save their life.

If you're interested in adaptive swim lessons or water safety classes, please reach out to us. We're here to help families build confidence, skills, and safer experiences around the water. 💙

We are honored to have received a grant through the Heal Foundation of Jacksonville. Thanks to their generosity, we were able to purchase needed equipment for our aquatic therapy and adaptive swim programs which directly supports children with Autism and their families. We are so excited about our plans for furthering our water safety program and are thankful for organizations like the HEAL who make it possible for us to do so. Thank you!

It's Intensive Week! Just a reminder that all of our regularly scheduled therapy sessions and adaptive swim lessons are cancelled for this week, June 15-19. Looking forward to seeing a lot of growth and having a lot of fun! All intensive weeks are booked for 2026. If you are interested in being added to the wait list for 2027, please send us a message.

We are often asked if we work with kids who are non-speaking. The answer is yes! The majority of the children we see for aquatic therapy and adaptive swim do not use words. But, that doesn’t mean they can’t communicate. The best part of our job is learning their language and building trust, because that’s when the magic happens. Today, our buddy was able to go under the water on command, relaxed, and by choice. Trust, ritual and routine with a side of love ❤️
