At Perry’s Aquatic Centre, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Compliance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 level AA standard. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and user-friendly for everyone.

The measures we have taken to ensure accessibility include:

1. Providing text alternatives for non-text content
2. Ensuring content can be presented in different ways without losing information
3. Making all functionality available from a keyboard
4. Giving users enough time to read and use content
5. Not using content that could cause seizures or physical reactions
6. Providing ways to help users navigate, find content, and determine where they are
7. Making text content readable and understandable
8. Making content appear and operate in predictable ways
9. Helping users avoid and correct mistakes

1. Adjust Text Size: Use your browser’s zoom function (usually Ctrl + ‘+’ or Cmd + ‘+’ on Mac).

2. Change Colours: Many browsers allow you to override page colours with your own choices.

3. Keyboard Navigation: Most browsers support keyboard navigation. Try using Tab to move between elements and Enter to activate links.

4. Captions: If we provide video content, ensure captions are turned on in the video player settings.
