    FAST Fins Kedron

    Kedron Fieldhouse and Aquatic Center 202 Fieldhouse Drive, Peachtree City, GA

    FOCUS Adaptive Swim Team (FAST Fins) concentrates on perfecting swim strokes, improving stamina, developing team skills, building self-confidence, following verbal commands, and increasing fitness.

    FAST Fins does not offer swim lessons – participants must be able to swim and be safe in the water without flotation. FAST Fins is a swim team, not swim lessons. Not only do swimmers need to be able to swim, they need to WANT to swim. We understand that playing and splashing in the water is fun, but FAST Fins is a time set aside for swimming laps and working on technique to attain better skills and confidence in the water.

  • Atlanta Botanical Gardens Family Activty

    Atlanta Botanical Gardens 1345 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta, GA

    A day at Atlanta venues is a typical outing for a typical family. But a family with a child with disabilities might never consider such an outing; their child may not be able to spend the entire day to justify the cost of the tickets or they may shy away because of the stares of strangers. Families can check in anytime between 9-11AM & walk throughout the gardens at their own pace.

  • Sip & Share Group

    Share Groups are free, monthly support groups for parents and primary caregivers, meeting from September through May in various locations across Metro Atlanta. These gatherings provide a welcoming space to connect with other parents, exchange practical tips, and share both the challenges and joys of parenting. As the very first program offered by FOCUS, Share Groups remain a cornerstone of our support services. Led by dedicated parent volunteers, each meeting is designed to be positive, constructive, and uplifting.
