Summertime Sensory Beach

Our Summertime Sensory Beach program is geared toward children ages 6 and under with sensory sensitivities. This playtime offers a unique path to water safety, sensory exploration, and social interaction for children with sensory processing needs. By creating a calm environment where children can comfortably explore their senses in the water, it allows them to participate in a social setting at their own comfort level. By adapting the environment and approach, children can experience the many benefits of swimming in a safe and inclusive way.

What makes Sensory Beach time different:

• Limited capacity in the pool area to reduce crowding.
• Water features and noisy equipment are turned off to reduce noise and create a calmer experience.
• Staff are encouraged to use whistles only for emergencies.

Summertime Sensory Beach is held in our Recreation Pool in the zero-entry area on Fridays from 3- 6 p.m. and Sundays from 9 a.m.-noon all summer long.

Admission for children ages 6 and under is free with a paying adult (drop-in rate).

Swim diapers and covers are mandatory for infants and toddlers, and all children need to be within arm's reach of an adult at all times.

*Preschool Beach does not include access to the Lazy River, FlowRider®, Splashtacular waterslide, hot tub, or lap lanes.
