Hi, it also states in the federal law that they have to fully include
the kids in everything that the regular kids do. So this is included.

If it should turn out that his parapro doesn't want to get in the water
with him, or can't for some reason. THis isn't your problem, its theirs.

They have to find a solution to this, not you. I would make them completely
responsible for this part. There maybe something else that they are thinking,
if its not written in his IEP that he isn't going to participate in the swimming
part of this class then they have to let him

When my son was in 5th and 6th grade, his class went to swimming at
the high school, but at the time his neurologist had restricted him from
swimming and it was written in his IEP, so he didn't participate in the
swimming part. It wasn't because of the school not wanting him to,
but they came up with a alternative activity. Then in 7th through now,
he has been in a adaptive PE classroom, with special conditions for his
swimming and permission from his neuro and pediatrician, new neuro.
