Looking for inclusive, supportive, and sensory-aware swimming lessons this summer?
Vecova is proud to partner with the Calgary Outdoor Swimming Pools Association (COSPA) to bring its trusted adapted aquatics programming outdoors for the first time! This summer, you can register your child or loved one for adapted swim lessons at Forest Lawn Outdoor Pool.
This new offering is based on our former SwimAbilities program - a name many parents will recognize. Now reimagined as Children’s Adapted Aquatics, this program is designed specifically for children and adults with physical, cognitive, sensory, and emotional disabilities, including those who are autistic or require extra support in the water.
What Makes These Lessons Different?
Vecova’s adapted aquatics lessons focus on building water safety, comfort, and independence in a welcoming, inclusive environment. While this isn’t a private or 1-to-1 lesson, we use a low instructor-to-student ratio of 4:1. That means instructors can tailor the experience to each swimmer, allowing for more personalized attention and meaningful one-to-one moments.
All participants must be accompanied in the water by a parent, caregiver, or aide, ensuring safety, comfort, and continuity between the lesson and home.
Caregivers are not charged a fee to enter or participate in the program.

Ages: Children (3-16) and Adults
