teach autistic children to swim?

I'm offering private swim lessons year, a friend of the family of 7 year old boy who is autistic. Him I helped teach public swimming lessons, and he did well in a group. You can swim under water mostly, and he jump from a springboard, if someone grabs. I am a competitive swimmer for seven years and been an assistant of group classes for three years. Is there anyone out there with any advice or experience? I will teach him, and his grandparents will be watching closely. Anything I can use to keep you entertained? He is a great guy, and hes always happy and sweet. :] I plan to: + free show [or as close to it] + a jump in the water and up + to the bottom of the pool in the deepest part of how the tread + Water + dive maybe? diving session, mostly. the deepest part is not too deep, maybeee 6 feet.

Just be sure to occupied without downtime. What can I do when I teach a child with autism is to start doing bobbers. I go first and then you're going to do 10 of them. So I keep it under your armpits and make it float on your belly and then have him float on his back and try to find birds in the sky when we're floating on his back. i hold it all the time. Then ask him to push the wall into his stomach and back. call it off. I count 10 to 1 and then say take off. you have to put their face in water. then we talk to fish (bubbles), then listening to the fish put our ear and cheek in the water. then I have to hold hands in your body frounof and guides me in his arms he doing swimming (arms used for crawl) Then do the same on the back and if he doesn't want to put your head all the way back in water that have rest on my shoulder. Then return to the deepest part and taught him how to tread water. I say legs to ride your bike and move my hands back and forward. So let me jump the wall a couple times and he has to use weapons of swimming to the wall. then we will return to the shallows and make off from again and this time has to use his arms and face in the water swimming. We take off a lot because I'm really trying to get him to do his swimming arms. an important key is making a lot of interaction. such as when you shift bobbers or dip a stick shift diving. they find that a lot of fun watching you do it too. If you need anything else let me know
