AN AQUATIC EXPERIENCE WITH ACCESSIBILITY FIRST

At the YMCA, we understand that there are a multitude of reasons that public pools can be inaccessible to members of our community that go beyond simple water safety. As part of an effort to make our pools accessible to all, we'd like to invite our members to come participate in Sensory Swim!

Sensory Swim takes place on Sundays in the Recreation/Therapy Pool. During this time, we'll be modifying the environment in order to promote a more peaceful and less overwhelming experience for children and families who struggle with sensory issues.
