What Are The Key Features Of A Sensory Pool?

What Are The Key Features Of A Sensory Pool?

The effectiveness of a multisensory room lies in its design and features. At Sensory Technology, we incorporate the following elements to create engaging and impactful spaces:

Using sensory lighting, pools can be customised to encourage relaxation, engage the senses, or support interactive learning. 

Unlike static lighting, fibre optics and UV effects create immersive, high-contrast visuals that transform the swimming experience. Lighting can be strategically placed both in the water and around the pool area to maximise these effects.

Systems can be controlled via a supervisor panel for overall management, while interactive in-pool equipment allows users to adjust lighting effects directly from the water, creating an engaging, hands-on sensory experience.

Key Features In Our Sensory Swimming Pool Designs

In pool environments, it is common for sounds to reverberate around space, making it harder for those with sensory processing difficulties. A Sensory Swimming Pool transforms this experience by thoughtfully incorporating sound systems that promote a calm, soothing atmosphere with gentle music, rhythmic water effects or even interactive audio for group activities. 

Bluetooth Sound Systems and water resistant speakers can be utilised to produce high-quality and clear audio output through the pool area. 

Supervisors can also use Bluetooth to incorporate their own playlists and sounds suited to each sensory session. 

Sensory Pools

In Sensory Pools, a key focus is encouraging individuals of all abilities to engage with the movement of water, providing both calming and playful experiences within a safe, controlled environment.

Specialist Sensory Pool Equipment, such as Bubble Blowers and Fibre Optic Bores, can enhance this interaction by stimulating multiple senses. These tools promote tactile engagement through gentle vibrations and visual stimulation through captivating light and water effects, making the experience both therapeutic and enjoyable.

Visual effects play a vital role in shaping an immersive sensory pool experience. With the use of projectors, the environment can be transformed into a sensory-stimulating, engaging space featuring moving patterns, underwater scenes, and interactive visuals.

Wall projections can also be displayed on the water’s surface and ceiling, ensuring accessibility and enjoyment for users of all mobility levels and swimming abilities.

Colour-changing mood lighting is also used to enhance the calming atmosphere, with user-friendly controls within the pool that allow users to adjust both lighting and projections.

Interactive Sensory Pool Equipment is an excellent way to inspire movement, exploration and play in an engaging, enjoyable setting. In our sensory pools, we incorporate user-based interactive equipment that allow the user control over the environment – including colour, pattern and frequency. 

Through our bespoke design process, we work with staff and supervisors to incorporate a selection of interactive user-based and supervisor controlled features that are best suited to each group of users accessing the space.
