CRC’s Aquatic Division strives for inclusiveness through Aquatics Programs that include social interaction for you or someone you know who has autism, C.P., arthritis or is rehabbing from any injury or a stroke or with any disability. The programs offers trained staff for a variety of group and individual instruction and are designed to include all ability levels, incorporating the Red Cross Swim Progression.

Mt. Auburn is a year round, warm water pool is the perfect pool for participating in our Adapted Aquatic Swim Programs, preparing for Special Olympics swim meets, improving flexibility or gaining swimming skills. This facility has been recently renovated for improved accessibility, with accessible showers, toilet stalls, parking, and assisted dressing room. Water temperature is maintained at 89 degrees. Several water entries and exits are available, including a pool chair lift and “easy ladder” with hand railings.  Mt. Auburn pool is also available for rentals by Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists or for one on one therapeutic water work.

If an individual requires assistance in order to successfully participate, an accommodation may be requested. Our CRC Therapeutic Division’s "Inclusion Team" will assist individuals with disabilities while participating in aquatic programs.  The inclusion staff will: a.) Assist in identifying a Cincinnati Recreation Commission aquatic program that fits your needs and interests.
b.) Assist in the process of registering and if necessary requesting an accommodation.
c.) Assist pool staff and instructors in providing necessary accommodation and other supports for successful participation.
