adaptive OPEN SWIM

All Ages

The Adaptive Family Open Swim program is a recreational open swim session intended to provide individuals with disabilities or adaptive needs access to unstructured pool time in a supportive environment. Participants may engage in aquatic activity at their own pace. Certified lifeguards are on duty during all sessions. Accessible pool entry is available through the use of a pool lift and stairs. Locker rooms are equipped with an adult changing table and accessible showers. Participants are encouraged to bring any personal flotation or adaptive swim devices they may require, as specialized equipment is not supplied. Each participant requiring adaptive support is permitted one (1) caregiver to attend and participate in the session at no additional charge. The caregiver may be a parent, guardian, or designated support person and is responsible for providing any personal care, supervision, or assistance required by the participant. Additional family members are welcome to attend; however, standard Open Swim admission fees apply to all accompanying family members beyond the one designated caregiver. Participants should bring appropriate swim attire, towels, and any preferred personal flotation devices. The facility does not provide one-to-one supervision or personal care assistance.
