Hydro Pool
The Centre has a fully accessible hydro pool which is equipped with overhead tracking hoists and situated in a Scandinavian log cabin with an ambient temperature of 32 degrees.
Members use the pool on a rota-basis and it provides an excellent base for exercise, providing a relaxing and fun environment for movement. The water’s warm temperature decreases muscle spasm, relieves pain and can increase range of movement. Each member undertakes a risk assessment to determine the level of support they need.
The hydro pool is also available for hire and enquiries regarding bookings can be made by contacting the centre’s office.
