About This Activity
Description
The last day for Internet Registration was Jun 24, 2025 3:00 PM.
Adapted Aquatics Adapted Aquatics is a program designed for children and adults with neurological, developmental and cognitive challenges. This program is a great introduction to the water and its benefits. Participants are introduced to the water gradually through instructor assisted open swim and then transitioned into instructor led activities in a quiet setting that will enable them to focus. Our pool will be heated consistently to 84-86 degrees. During this 25-minute block of time, individuals will enter the water with a family at their own pace. If a lesson is not appropriate or wanted at the time, the individual can choose to move/exercise in the water as they please. Please note our Aquatic Staff are skilled in aquatic instruction but are not therapists. Aquatic staff will solicit input from parents and other family members that could aid in the learning process and allow our staff to efficiently and effectively tailor the lesson to each individual's needs. Goals of the Adapted Aquatics program include: Providing opportunities for continued social interaction with family, friends and instructors Providing individuals with and aquatic environment with unique physical properties which can enhance motor learning for people with disabilities Building strength, increasing cardiovascular endurance and improving motor skills Providing a sense of freedom to individuals who require physical assistance through water therapy, while encouraging them to engage in physical challenges. For safety purposes, we ask that individuals who are known to have seizures wear a red bathing cap and tell the aquatic staff. All persons who are incontinent or not toilet trained must be in swim diapers before entering the pool.
