The Waterpark in Carmel to hold annual sensory-friendly swim events this summer

Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation (CCPR) will hold its annual Adaptive Sensory-Friendly Swim events (formerly known as Open Swims) at The Waterpark in Carmel, 1195 Central Park Drive West, this summer.

Adaptive Sensory-Friendly Swims will be held throughout the summer from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. on June 4, June 18, July 2, July 16, and July 30. These events are designed for individuals with disabilities and their families.

“The constant noise and activity at The Waterpark can be overwhelming,” said Kelvin Solares, CCPR inclusion program supervisor. “We want people of all abilities to enjoy themselves, which is why we host accessible, inclusive events that remove barriers like loud noises and crowds. These evenings will allow those with sensory differences to have fun rather than worry about becoming overstimulated.”

During Adaptive Sensory-Friendly Swim events, the concession stand is closed, music is turned off, and capacity is limited. Outside food and drink are welcome. The main activity pool, slides, and lazy river will be open for families to swim, play and interact with others.

Each event costs $20 per family to attend. You only need to register one member per family. Pre-registration is required. Click here to sign up today.
