NIGHT SWIM
The Branson Parks and Recreation Department is excited to be hosting “Night Swim” at the Branson AquaPlex on Friday, July 12, from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. Enjoy games and live music by DJ “All That Music.” Admission is discounted at $5 per person. Please note that daytime guests will need to leave the pool and reenter by paying for this event. Season passes and coupons cannot be used for Night Swim. Let’s get ready to swim under the stars in style!
SENSORY SWIM
The Branson Parks and Recreation Department in partnership with Shay & Pals and KultureCity, will host a Sensory Swim session on Monday, July 15, from noon to 2 p.m. at the Branson AquaPlex, located at 1501 Branson Hills Pkwy. Sensory swims are offered to individuals with Sensory Processing Disorders and differing abilities to allow them to enjoy the AquaPlex without the typical crowds and noise that come with a public pool.
This Sensory Swim session has many features designed for those with Sensory Processing Disorders in mind. The music and the fountain features will be turned off to reduce the noise level, the lifeguards don’t use loud whistles and the number of participants is limited to provide a safe and calm environment for participants to enjoy. The water slides and playground will only be offered during the last hour of the event in order to provide adequate time for participants who enjoy decreased noise levels, and time for those who enjoy the more interactive features of the AquaPlex.
The event is free, but pre-registration is required due to capacity limits. A parent or guardian must be present with each participant in order to provide a safe and fun experience for all swimmers.
