Adaptive Aquatics for Adults with Autism

Grannon Pool provides a warm, quiet, and spacious environment and the separate lesson times ensure minimized external stimuli.

Family swim is included with a YMCA membership. Non-members can pay a $10 drop-in fee. Please see the swim schedule for current available sessions.
Financial Aid
