Adapted Aquatics: Social Swim
Ellen Linson is also home of the Social Swim program. The Social Swim program, which used to be offered only during the summertime, has long been a popular program for individuals with developmental disabilities. This aquatic program provides participants ages 13 & up with the opportunity to develop and maintain social skills while having fun playing games such as treasure hunt, water polo and volleyball with their peers. In response to many requests from residents for more Social Swim opportunities, this program is now being offered year-round at Margaret Brent Regional Center in New Carrollton.
