Here is another music video showing Caleb's swim progress. * Because of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Life for Caleb is actually more challenging on land than in the water. Watersafe is now helping Caleb's family raise funds to give him a special wheel chair for Christmas. To help, please go to: https://www.youcaring.com/calebsaiz-693893 * We are asking for donations to give Caleb a $4500 wheel chair for Christmas. * He is one Watersafe Swim School's Amazing Special Ability Smart Fish. Caleb began his Born-To-Swim Experience in our Parent-Tot Classes at age 6 weeks. Caleb instantly loved the water and typically progressed through the program for the first 9 months. This begins with a video segment from February, 2015, before he was diagnosed. It took a year for the family to finally receive a confirmation that Caleb has Type 2 Spinal Muscular Atrophy. * SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHY is a genetic disorder that affects the control of muscle movement. The loss of motor neurons leads to weakness and wasting (atrophy) of muscles used for activities such as crawling, walking, sitting up, and controlling head movement. * Caleb has continued to attend swim lessons at Watersafe on a regular basis throughout the year. He is thriving as a swimmer. He has learned to do Smart Fish Method Swim~Float~Swimming using a modification of pulling, instead of kicking.
