Sensory Friendly Swim

 The Sensory Friendly Swim is an hour-long swim where we aim to reduce noise so that those who can be overstimulated by sounds on the pool deck are able to enjoy everything the Sackville Sports Stadium Pool has to offer in a way that is safe and comfortable for them!  For this hour of reduced noise we ensure there is no music played, the mushroom is not turned on and the rope swing is not available.

 We are also adding the following new supports that will be available to all participants during this swim.  Stations will be run by aquatic staff that will include facilitated games, inclusive and adapted toys, tips for improving swimming skills and for assisting swimmers in the water, extra staff assigned near the slides and for the operation of the chair lift when needed.
