Quiet Hour Swims return to PINES
We are excited to bring back our Quiet Hour Swim for the 2024/2025 season.
Starting on Saturday 2 November, we will be hosting a Quiet Hour every Saturday from 10am to 11am.
Our Quiet Hour offers a calm, low-stimulation environment to help remove barriers for those with sensory needs. During Quiet Hour Swim, there will be no music or unnecessary announcements, and patrons will be informed to keep noise levels low.
The Centre will remain open to the public and everyone is welcome, but we ask if you are attending during that time slot that you please be mindful of noise levels so that we can provide a calm and sensory environment.
