Our sensory awareness day is one week from today! 🖤

Pumpkins can turn into more than a carriage 🪄

….they can also turn into tools for your adaptive swim lessons!

We’re celebrating the first day of FALL today, and we’re taking autumn straight to the pool with adaptive, fall-themed swim activities that every swimmer can enjoy.

✨ Pumpkin Pass
Core strength + teamwork = fun! Support swimmers at the hips as they twist, grab mini pumpkins from the pool edge, and pass to a friend.

✨ Underwater Pumpkin Patch
For sensory seekers, hide pumpkins at different depths for retrieval. It’s calming, regulating, and so much fun to dive for!

These activities aren’t just festive — they build motor planning, strength, and self-regulation in the water.

If you’d like to read more about the autumn-themed pool games and exercises above, comment ✨ FALL✨ and we’ll dm you our guide.

PS- if you got our Cinderella’s carriage reference above, drop a 👋 below.
