Abstract

Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can that need intervention. Swimming is one activity that is proven to be a healthy outlet for a child's excess energy, as there are physical demands that warrant that they stay afloat and move through the water. It presents the child with a structured environment. Since a child with ADHD can have unique needs, the development of swimming lessons needs modifications and adaptations. In teaching swimming to such children, a physical education teacher, special education teacher, a kinesiologist/physical therapist, and an applied behavior analyst can enable the child with ADHD to effectively master the skills needed. Learning swimming can lead to pivotal behavior such as increased focus and attention, following instructions, and waiting skills. In the long run, behavior problems can be resolved and academic performance can be enhanced..
