INFO: Summer Holiday Swim Therapy Sessions

Summer holidays are approaching and, thanks to the generous support of the Norie Trust and the Bramble Charitable Trust, Bath Swim Therapy are able to run Holiday Swim Therapy sessions from July 22nd to August 8th - this may be before the holiday start for some but different counties have different start dates!

They will run on

·         Mondays, Wednesdays & Thursdays 10.00 - 1.00 in the hydrotherapy pool at Three Ways School, Odd Down, Bath BA2 5RF and

·         Tuesdays 1.30 - 4.00 in the Learner Pool at Longwell Green Leisure Centre, BS15 9LA

These sessions are open to any family with a disabled or special needs child or young person (0 - 25yrs) who would benefit from hydrotherapy or specialist swimming instruction in a small warm water pool during the summer holidays. Each session gives them a 20 min individual time with the physiotherapist to focus on hydrotherapy or learning to swim or a combination or both.  They are also an opportunity for parents/carers to learn how to work with their children in the water and become more confident when taking them swimming

Other members of the family are also welcome (provided there is room in the pool) but siblings will need to be accompanied by an additional adult unless they are confident swimmers. Alternatively, families can just book to come for a swim without any therapy time if, because of the level of their child's disability, they need the fully accessible facilities .

The cost this year will be £5 per session but we are able to offer concessions if this amount is difficult. There is no additional charge at Longwell Green
