Special Needs
Community Program Special Needs (children must be accompanied by an adult) – Designed for individuals with special needs to maintain or improve mobility and flexibility but because of limited abilities are unable to participate in other community programs. This program provides additional staff and/or allows for caregiver assistance. Physician referral and Physical Therapy evaluation are needed prior to participation. Following acceptance to the program, there is an orientation by the pool staff. The pool staff will provide minimal assistance for dressing and ambulation on land. This program also allows for individuals needing maximal one-on-one assistance to provide their own caregiver to help meet their needs in water and on land at no extra cost. The ultimate goal of the Special Needs Program is to progress participants to an independent status, if possible, so that they may advance to other community programs. Conditions indicating participation in the Special Needs Program would be such things as fear of water, poor balance, poor judgment or comprehension, needs assistance on land and/or in water or with dressing, health conditions requiring special attention (heart rates and blood pressures will not be monitored), or individuals determined to be unsafe and/or inappropriate for other community programs. All children under the age of 18 will routinely be considered Special Needs. Cost of the program will be as follows:
Program sessions are held at the following times (NOTE: These are one hour and 15 minute sessions to include shower and locker room time. A maximum of 45 minutes in the water.):
