Special Needs Adaptive Program (SNAP)
The Arlington-Mansfield Area YMCA SNAP Swim Program has been suspended until further notice.
Children with autism are five to 14 times more likely to drown than peers without autism. Accidental drowning accounted for 91% of deaths for children 14 & under who have been diagnosed with autism.
Our Special Needs Adaptive Program (SNAP) is designed for individuals five years old and up that may need a modification or accommodation due to Autism. The program is led by trained staff to help participants gain confidence and feel more comfortable and secure around the water. Space is limited. Financial assistance is available for members.
