A Qualitative Investigation of Swimming Experiences of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders and Their Families.
Objective: To understand the swimming experience from the perspective of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families.
Methods: We interviewed 12 diverse families using a semi-structured interview with follow-up probing questions related to their swimming experiences. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and coded by researchers.
Results: Themes included family water activities, safety, characteristics of ASD, instructional methods, swim skills, swimming preferences, barriers/challenges, and benefits of swimming. Findings indicate positive experiences and skill acquisition were prevalent when instructional methods matched a child's unique needs. Parents revealed they were more confident in safety as their children's swimming competence improved. Individualized instructional methods and unique characteristics of ASD may influence perceived safety.
