ADAPTIVE AQUATICS:
Swimming provides a variety of therapeutic benefits to children without even realizing they are doing any work! Warm water has a relaxing effect on muscles, which makes it easier to move. In addition, while in the water, children with physical challenges are able to move without the natural pull of gravity. Increased circulation, breathing capacity, and improved range of muscle movement are some of the many benefits of this activity.

There are many adaptive devices available to enable children of all abilities to participate in this fun and popular program.

Adaptive aquatics is an annual TRAIL offering, generally in April and May. This program is held at the indoor pool at the Goodwin Community Center in Claremont, NH., and there is a certified lifeguard present at all times.
