To think the is unfair

[Sadmummy3]

We recently discovered local pool has a swim for disabled children or children with additional needs on Saturday afternoon.
Really happy as DS loves water/swimming but can get overwhelmed by too many people.
DH has taken him for a couple of weeks and it's always been quiet sometimes they are the only ones in the pool.
DH took him today and there was a children's party going on alongside the disabled swim, in the same pool.
Obviously the party kids were noisy and enjoying themselves. DS has a huge meltdown because of sensory overload. DH calmed him down and asked if he wanted to swim (he's non verbal but does understand some things). DS began pulling DH towards the exit so they came home.
It seems so unfair that they'd hold a party alongside a swim for children with additional needs. I mean it's obviously about money but surely they can't advertise something as a swim for disabled children/children with additional needs and then have a party at the same time.
Just another experience ruined for DS.
Forgot to say he is autistic, we weren't just using the pool because it was quiet.

This is poor organisation by the pool. Saturday afternoons are prime party time at lots of pools.

Yeah I can see Saturday would be a popular day for a party but they could surely set aside an hour for the disabled swim and do parties the rest of the afternoon.

I think you should, in writing, politely feedback to the pool as to why it didn't work for your DS, and request they review.

Oh, I wasn’t saying it was OK. I was just saying it was poor planning because it is prime party time in many pools.

I agree, that’s poor planning. Probably someone who doesn’t fully grasp what SEND needs can be. Worth raising it with management.

my son loves his SEND swim lessons so I can see why this is so upsetting.
