Aquatic Activity for Health

We will be running a water-based physical activity programme designed for individuals with mild to moderate health conditions.

Water-based exercise can help people with chronic diseases in a variety of different ways. The upward force, called buoyancy, helps to take pressure off of the joints. This transforms normal movement into smoother actions, keeping it low impact. The water resistance also enhances body awareness, which can assist with maintaining proper posture and a sense of movement within space during activity.

There are a range of exercise options, nutritional advice and ongoing support available, along with an exit strategy that allows individuals to continue enjoying the long term health benefits of being physically active.
