Aquatic Adaptive and Inclusive

Image

At North Clackamas Aquatic Park, we understand the importance of creating a comfortable and inviting aquatic environment. Our Sensory Friendly Swim program is designed specifically for swimmers seeking a peaceful atmosphere that minimizes sensory overload. Here, you can expect reduced noise levels, limited lighting, and a smaller number of swimmers in a flat-water setting.  

The swim includes waterslides, dive well (no diving board), kiddie pool, hot tub (for 18+) and wave pool (no waves). Swimmers are required to have a responsible supervisor join them in the water for all ages.

Measures include:

  • No background music.
  • No waves, interactive fountains or whistles used.
  • Limited lighting.
  • No speaker announcements.
  • Two quiet sensory friendly break rooms to use as calm spaces.
  • Additional staff available for support.
