Our Adapted Aquatics program is for individuals, 3 years or older, with special needs. Participants get in the water and work one-on-one with a volunteer to increase their swimming skills, flexibility, exercise, and have fun!
The Wednesday Adapted Aquatics participants and volunteers will have access to the 0-3.5 foot deep Instructional Pool and the Hydrotherapy Pool only. Participants on Fridays have access to the Instructional Pool, one lane in the Lap Pool, and the Hydrotherapy Pool.
