Sensory quiet sessions at Harold Holt Swim Centre

We’ll be hosting trial sensory quiet sessions at 3 – 3.45pm on Fridays and 7 – 7.45am on Sundays from 4 April until 4 May in both the pool and gym areas at Harold Holt Swim Centre.

During a sensory quiet session, barriers that may prevent people with sensory needs from participating in aquatic, leisure or fitness activities will be kept to a minimum, this means:

no music
no hair or hand dryers
no planned announcements
dimmed lights in the pool area
no aquatic or fitness classes (except for Access All Abilities swim classes during 3 – 3.45pm on Fridays).

*Sensory quiet sessions may be impacted during school holidays.
*Lights cannot be dimmed in the gym room due to equipment being used.

Everyone is welcome to attend the swim centre during a sensory quiet session, we just ask you to be respectful and keep noise to a minimum during the session to contribute to the low sensory environment.
