Well, I am going to chime in now.  I believe whole heartedly that learning
to swim is one of those life skills all should learn.  Swimming is also a
very blind friendly sport...  so, my advice?  Get him in the pool!

Who is working back up to a mile a day, currently at 54 laps a day!


And, to tie this into crafts?  I am trying to design a lap counter with
beads.  Something like the wrist abacus one would use for knitting.  Any
ideas?

Dick;
How about getting a set of plastic bowling pins and teach him how to bowl.
After he gets the hang of it, introduce him to the real bowling lanes.  I am
not into sports, much, but I love bowling.  They have guard rales for blind
people, if he ever joines a blind leage.  He can use the rack where the
balls come back for a guide, instead of a guard rale.  My friends just tell
me what pins I still have standing and I ame and role.  I am not a great
bowler by any means, but I still bowl with my staff members, at our
Christmas party!
