Registration Dates in details. 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 83-85 degrees.During this 25-minute block of time,
individuals can enter the water with a family member, or alone, at
their own pace. Professional lifeguards will maintain vigilance during
the program and multiple Swim Instructors will be in the water the
entire time to assist with open swim and teach lessons. 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 instructorsProviding individuals with and aquatic environment with
unique physical properties which can enhance motor learning for people
with disabilitiesBuilding strength, increasing cardiovascular
endurance and improving motor skillsProviding a sense of freedom to
individuals who require physical assistance through water therapy,
while encouraging them to engage in physical challengesFor safety
purposes, we ask that individuals who are known to have seizures wear
