LEONARDTOWN, Md. — St. Mary’s County Recreation & Parks is set to begin its next Adaptive Aquatics sessions this August, offering an inclusive swim program tailored for children and teens with disabilities.
The five-week course begins Thursday, Aug. 7, and will be held every Thursday evening through Sept. 4. Participants are grouped by age, with each class offering a 30-minute session per week:
- Adaptive Aquatic Adventures (ages 4–7)
- Adaptive Aquatic Explorers (ages 8–11)
- Adaptive Aquatic Divers (ages 12–18)
Each group is designed to meet swimmers at their individual level, focusing on water safety, comfort, and skill development in a supportive environment. The registration fee is $125 for the full five-week program.
Private adaptive lessons are also available in 30- and 60-minute options, with sessions offered at both the Leonardtown and Great Mills pools. These one-on-one classes use a punch-pass system and are ideal for families seeking personalized instruction.
The Wellness & Aquatics Center, located on the College of Southern Maryland’s Leonardtown campus, features a 25-yard lap pool, a warm-water therapy pool with zero-depth entry, weight and cardio areas, and group fitness studios. The facility operates Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m.
