This kit comes in a Boy and a Girl version: choose the one that looks most like your child in the store.

Prepare your child with autism for swimming at the pool, beach, water park, or in the backyard!

Like a social story, this social narrative about going swimming helps children understand what to expect at the pool, lake, or beach, including wearing a swimsuit, wearing sunscreen, wearing floaties, and staying near an adult. It supports kids, including those with autism, in feeling confident and safe around water while promoting fun, exercise, and good swimming habits. There is also a bonus celebratory social narrative I Did a Good Job Swimming that can be read to the child to reinforce the positive behavior.
