An indoor pool in Windsor with a zero-depth play pool, a lazy river, an enclosed water slide, lap lanes and a hot tub. The play features turn on at 10 am daily, and the slide runs after 10 am Monday to Friday.
Know before you go. The pool doesn't list sensory swim times or a quiet room. Here's what the town does say about the pools, the slide and the rules.

The activity pool closes for swim lessons Monday to Thursday 5 to 7 pm and Saturday 8 to 10 am. If your kid is 6 or under, you need to be in a swimsuit and within arm's reach the whole time.

Common questions
What if my child won't look at the schedule or story?
That is common at first. Leave it where the moment happens, point to one picture at a time, and keep it low-pressure. Many kids warm up to it after a few calm tries, in their own time.
