• For added general and accessibility convenience, an accessible Family Restroom will be provided.

• The pool will have a modified, walk-in entry to the water to provide access for people with disabilities and those using the pool for recuperative benefits.

• The snack bar will be fully-accessible for guests and swimmers.

To support the life-saving skill of swimming, the Foundation will support free swimming lessons to children each summer, to be determined based on available funds from the Foundation and the needs identified in collaboration with community partners such as:

The Foundation’s funds will facilitate an adaptive swimming program in which life guards are trained in the special needs of adaptive swimmers.

The Pool will ensure there is a dedicated time each week for supervised adaptive open swim.
