Parent-Child Sensory Swim
This swim is designed to offer a calmer, reduced stimulation pool environment that supports a wide range of needs. These swims may be helpful for people who are neurodivergent, living with anxiety or dementia, recovering from a concussion, managing sensory sensitivities, or anyone who simply benefits from a quieter, more predictable space.

To support this calmer environment, the following adjustments will be in place:  Low lights, no background music, water feature turned off, whistles used only for emergencies, diving board and monkey bars closed, ;large toys and equipment will not be available. Parents must accompany children 15 years and under in the water and remember to keep all children under the age of 7 within arm’s reach. A maximum of three children per adult. Please note that wait times may vary. We appreciate a quieter environment when possible. All abilities and forms of participation are welcome and accepted.

The District of Squamish adheres to capacity limits and Lifeguard-swimmer ratios set by Lifesaving Society Canada in order to maintain a safe level of supervision at the Brennan Park Aquatic Centre. Lifeguard ratios are determined by water surface areas and the number of recreational swimmers so that Lifeguards can supervise all areas of the pool that are accessible to bathers/swimmers during recreational swim periods.

Lifesaving Society Canada’s National Safety Standards are developed using Coroners’ recommendations, the latest evidence-based research, and reflect the aquatic industry’s best practices to prevent drownings and aquatic-related injuries in aquatic environments.

Squamish Recreation Services offers Lifeguard certification programs to ensure local access to a qualified, consistent Lifeguard base necessary to meet our ever-growing community demand for swimming. To learn more contact our Customer Service team at 604.898.3604.

Brennan Park Recreation Centre staff strive to create an equitable, enjoyable experience for everyone.

Pool entry wait times may be longer than usual and pool capacities may be reduced in order to maintain the required lifeguard-to-swimmer ratio. Please also remember that children under age 7 must be within arms reach of a responsible adult.

Brennan Park pool accessibility features include a beach-style entry to the main pool, ramp entry to the teach pool and hot tub, pool-safe wheelchairs and accessible changeroom features.
