Sensory-Friendly Swims
Our sensory-friendly swims are calmer, quieter sessions for anyone who finds a busy pool overwhelming. With smaller numbers in the water and a gentler atmosphere, they give autistic and neurodivergent swimmers, young children, and their families a relaxed space to enjoy the water at their own pace.

What to Expect
The Full Waterpark
The slides and the waves run exactly as normal. It is the same waterpark you know, just a calmer version of it.
Capped at 50 Swimmers
We limit every sensory session to 50 people, so there is more room in the water and far less noise around you.
Quieter Throughout
The mushroom tree water cannon stays switched off, and we skip the warning bell before the waves, so there are no sudden loud noises.
Always Lifeguarded
Our qualified lifeguard team is on poolside throughout, exactly as in any other session.
