How to use the pool
Please contact Forres swimming pool reception initially on 01309 672984. The receptionist takes contact details for the person making the enquiry and records it in the Enquiry Book, passing all enquiries onto the Physiotherapist for her to speak with the person enquiring and deciding if they are suitable to book an Induction or an Assessment. The Physiotherapist will book an appointment and invite the potential client to attend at least 15 mins before their appointment to complete a Health Questionnaire. All clients using the Hydrotherapy Pool are required to complete a simple Health Questionnaire (please download and print off or ask for one at the pool reception).
