About the Program
AbilityFirst offers accessible swimming programs tailored to children and adults with disabilities. Programs take place in indoor, warm-water pools designed to provide a welcoming environment for recreation, learning, and exercise.
Activities are adapted to participants’ individual needs and abilities. Whether someone is becoming more comfortable in the water, practicing safety skills, or enjoying movement and recreation, our aquatics programs make participation possible.
While our programs are specially tailored to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities, we are proud to open our doors to the greater community for health and wellness.
