Buoyancy supports the body — so a kick, a stretch, or a step becomes possible in the water.

The benefits

How the water helps

Warm water eases muscle tightness, and buoyancy supports body weight — allowing movements, like kicking or jumping, that may not be possible on land. Sessions can improve circulation, joint mobility and muscle strength, with potential benefits for breathing and balance. And the sensory experience of the water — its motion and warmth — provides gentle stimulus and calm.

Circulation

Warmth and gentle movement support blood flow.

Mobility

Buoyancy frees joints and muscles to move.

Calm

The warmth soothes and settles.

No swimming ability is needed. We have flotation aids and support to make everyone feel safe. Clients simply sit or stand with support in the water, with trained staff guiding them.
Wear a bathing suit or swim trunks. Please bring your own swim nappy if needed, along with a towel and dry clothes for after.
Yes, the pool is kept around 34°C (93°F), which is warmer than most pools. This warmth helps relax muscles and is comfortable even for less mobile clients.
Using our ceiling hoist, we carefully lower each client into the water while they remain fully supported, ensuring a smooth transition into the pool.
Absolutely. The pool has continuous filtration and chlorination, and we test the water chemistry multiple times a day to meet health standards. Clients shower before entering to keep the water clean.
Water provides resistance and support. It can help build strength and improve flexibility without straining joints — even gentle movements in water can increase mobility and tone muscles.
For our day care and respite clients, a member of staff is always poolside. If you’re hiring the pool privately, we recommend having someone poolside with you in case of an emergency.
For our day care and respite clients, we go very slowly — staff are patient, providing hand-holding or flotation as needed. Some clients just sit at the pool edge and enjoy the warm water on their feet first.
Get in touch with the centre to arrange regular weekly sessions, or to ask about private pool hire.
