Sensory Swim is an introduction to the ocean for neuro-diverse swimmers. Participants will receive customized one to one support from trained CIBBOWS volunteers, experience the water, float, and swim a short distance (depending on ability and experience). This program will be limited to six swimmers with one volunteer coach per swimmer.

  • Learning about the ocean
  • Experience getting in and out of the ocean
  • Try floating in the ocean with support
  • Try treading water (depending on ability)
