Description

In today’s world we strive to avoid segregation and provide inclusive spaces. The 7 principles of universal design, developed in 1979 by a professional group of designers, researchers, and engineers, are still applicable today and have become world-renowned in the design of any public space. We can apply these principles in aquatic environments to create rewarding experiences featuring flexible, intuitive and approachable play for people of all ages and abilities.
