Sessions for adults to swim socially, no lanes. These sessions are generally quieter and so may be more suitable for those living with dementia, neurodivergence and/or other long term health conditions 

Sessions for all ages looking to build their water confidence for disabled people or those with long term medical or health conditions.

Fabulous fun way to improve or maintain mobility. After a little catch up we dance to warm up, strengthen, play games, or do some pair work, stretch, challenge our balance, and then relax with some breath work. Something to look forward to in the week. If you want to do it all seated, then that is fine. If you want to stand up for most of it, then that is fine too. I provide all equipment that is needed. All welcome.

Benefits are both socially and for health. Improve weight loss, aids falls prevention through strength and conditioning and a great way to keep your focus. Meet new friends and boost your mood and your energy.
