The Katherine M. York Adaptive Aquatic Center opens Wednesday, June 2, 2010 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10:30 am. Tours of the facility and festival activities will continue until 4:00 pm. Activities are free and open to the public.
The new pool, commonly known as Katie's Pool, will feature a 34' by 60' swimming pool. The temperature will be 88-90 degrees, the optimal temperature for individuals with blood pressure and joint issues. It will feature a 42-foot ramp into the shallow end of the pool. The new facility will provide handicap accessible changing rooms, including a lift system that will enable a wheelchair-bound individual to be more easily assisted within the changing room. The facility will also include therapy rooms and office space.
