Swimming Pool

​

At Vera School, we prioritize the safety of our students around bodies of water.

Our curriculum includes teaching water safety, using our two swimming pools

as part of the learning program during summer and spring. This is especially

important for children with ASD who may not understand the dangers of being

in or near water, or who may not have had the opportunity to learn water safety

and how to swim. In addition to safety, exposure to the swimming pools allows

for multi-use and enjoyment for our students.
