Neurodivergent initiatives at Gosport Leisure Centre
Fun in and out of the pool
At our centre, we run a range of neurodivergent friendly activities for those with learning difficulties or special educational needs. Each session will consist of a smaller capacity compared to our regular sessions with assistance available from our amazing staff, some of whom have been trained by Autism Hampshire to ensure that you and/or your child are provided with the best support!

If you, or any of your family would like to see the centre before your session, we can book in a pre-session tour with the team. Please speak to a member of the team or call us to organise this. Similarly, we have an Inclusion Specialist and Aquatic Inclusion Specialist on site who you can book an appointment with if you wish.
We've teamed up with Hampshire Parent Carer Network to provide a sensory map of Gosport Leisure Centre which can be seen below.
