MALIBU—On Monday, June 29, the city of Malibu announced that its Malibu Community Services Department was awarded the 2026 Southern California Public Pool Operators Association Innovative Program Award for the Water Safety Program, Sensory Swim.

Designed for participants of all ability levels, the Sensory Swim program provides a supportive aquatic environment where individuals with sensory sensitivities and diverse needs can comfortably enjoy the benefits of swimming.

By prioritizing accommodations and trained staff support, the initiative helps create a safe, welcoming space where everyone—regardless of ability—can experience the joy and wellness benefits of swimming.

Through a collaboration with the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District and the Malibu Esperance Center, Malibu aims to expand access to recreational opportunities while strengthening community inclusion.
