my ds8 has started to swim without his armbands!! he has spina bifida and is paralized from his waist down, no feeling in his legs at all. he's swimming like a fish, going under peoples legs, picking things up off the pool floor, doing sommersaults etc im just so proud and so pleased for him his physios said he would only swim on his back but he's swimming on his front all the time knew you guys would understand how excited i am.

Congratulations to you and you son.

It seem every time a “professional” states limits for our children, the kids seam find a way to prove them wrong.

What a great day.

That's great!! He must be really strong in his trunk and arms. It sounds like he loves the pool.

Thank God for water!

I used to teach adaptive aquatics and it is truly blissful to watch kids (and adults) as their limitations on land VANISH in the water!!! FREEDOM!!!

That, and I chuckle everytime I have to tell a kiddo in a wheelchair to SLOW DOWN (especially my powerchair kids) and abide by the hallway "speed limit" at school!

Congratulations!!!!!

Yippee! I bet that is the best feeling in the world for him, to be truly independent in the water. I know you must be so proud.

He should be very proud of himself
It brings tears to my eyes to hear such great accomplishments, my youngest does Aquatic Therapy and she recently started to have head and Trunk control that she never had before, you gotta love that water

 

[MinnieVanMom]

You have every right to be proud Mom. And he is a fish in water, that is wonderful. Swimming is great and there are so many children that don't know how to swim at all. I am sure there is joy in your heart watching your son swim. WTG
