Accessible Swimming Pool Treasure Hunt
With appropriate supervision, place safe, easy-to-reach floating objects in a designated pool activity area. Ask participants to find particular colours, shapes or objects.
Players can collect treasures, point to them, give instructions or work with a support person. Keep objects at the surface and never require underwater retrieval.
Activities should be adapted to individual abilities, support needs and pool safety requirements.
