Health

Covid 19 – There are sanitisers and cleaning equipment in the hydrotherapy pool and main swimming pool changing areas.

If your circumstances change in any way from the initial health screening, by minor illness or operation (e.g. joint replacement, abdominal surgery or cardiac arrest etc.) you must inform a member of staff. The hydrotherapist will look at these changes and if necessary will carry out a reassessment. This ensures that the water or the exercises you are undertaking are not having an adverse effect on you. If you are unwell please do not come to the pool. If you are pregnant we advise staying out of the water for the first 3 months.
Any client or carer who has been vomiting or has had diarrhoea within the last 48 hours must not enter the pool.
