Adaptive Recreation
Adaptive Recreation provides top-notch programming and inclusion support for persons with disabilities. We believe that living a fun, meaningful, active life is important for all members of our community.
Program activities include social groups, outdoor adventures, Friday night programs, family programs, swim lessons, fitness groups, adaptive sports, and more. Meeting locations are generally at the Recreation Center unless notes otherwise.
Information and pricing is available on the Adaptive Recreation registration page.

Adaptive Recreation: Learn to Swim
Our goal is to provide opportunity for your swimmer to gain life-long aquatic skills in a safe swimming environment. We’ll accomplish this by creating fun educational learning, becoming water safe, and moving toward our individual achievable goals!
Sensory-Friendly Family Swim
Sensory-Friendly Family Swim is offered the first Sunday of each month from 5:30-7 p.m., unless noted otherwise on the registration page.
The pool will be open only to those with a disability and their families. The pool is not open to the public during the Sensory-Friendly Swim.
Parent participation required. Noise and activity will be minimal. The large fountain will be off (unless approved) and lifeguards will only use whistles if necessary. The water slides will remain open.
