In this episode of Navigating Neva, Neva Nicole and Wes talk with Meg about a hard truth in aquatics: many facilities say they value adaptive programming, but very few are actually built for it. This conversation goes beyond programming and into adaptive aquatics infrastructure — the systems, standards, staffing, planning, and leadership needed to make adaptive services reliable instead of fragile. From heroic staff effort to closure-week breakdowns, this episode examines what happens when caring replaces infrastructure, and why real adaptive readiness is essential for protecting families, staff, and dignity.
