Adaptive Aquatics Programs
Specialized aquatic instruction programs serving individuals with physical, developmental, and cognitive disabilities through adapted swimming techniques and therapeutic water activities.
Market snapshot
These figures describe Swim Schools & Aquatic Education (2.3.9), the segment that Adaptive Aquatics Programs sits within — not Adaptive Aquatics Programs on its own.
No discrete Census NAICS code — swim instruction sits within sports/recreation instruction (611620) and fitness/recreation classifications, so it is not separately sized by the Census Bureau.
