Sensory Friendly Open Swim Session


Aquatics / Open Swim Session -
Aquatics - Winter 2025

Sensory Friendly OPEN SWIM

We are excited to offer a once-a-month, special swimming session in which we modify the environment to create a calmer atmosphere in the pool, creating a more sensory-friendly environment to those with autism and other special needs. The music will be turned off; whistles will not be used within the vicinity of the pool and staff will be trained to understand the special needs of children and families. The space will be welcome to everyone at the time, just with some minor adjustments to make it a safe and calm place for everyone to enjoy.

All ages are welcome during our open swim hours! Open swim time allows the opportunity for young swimmers to practice their skills, or just play and have fun. An adult is required to be in the water with children under the age of 7 (within arms reach)

Open swim includes:

  • Shallow end use for all swimmers
  • Deep end swimming for all swimmers who complete a swim test.  
  • Diving board usage - one diving board will be open for diving and forward jumping.
  • Shallow end basketball hoop and balls
  • Rings, noodles, etc.

Please note:  goggles which over the nose (face mask style) and inflatables are not permitted.  

Pre-registration is encouraged, but we will accept drop-ins (depending upon capacity).

Please note: refunds are only available on cancellations five days in advance and incur a $1.00 processing fee per transaction.
