We are so excited to add a Wellis Swimspa into our new extension.
A Swimspa gives us the opportunity to provide an environment that can be adapted to the needs of our clients to achieve the best outcomes.
Working in a small volume of water in a quiet space with the ability to introduce music and sensory lighting means we can adapt the surroundings to meet the sensory needs of many of our clients who might be put off by a standard swimming pool.
The small volume allows us to adjust the temperature of the water to higher temperatures than those seen in standard swim pools and our team can work at eye level with the client in the water so providing close, safe, easily adjusted supervision with our clients. The Able2B team can work in or out of the water or both.
We have installed a Molift 200 ceiling hoist in the pool room and alongside a fully accessible wet room/changing room (All of the above allows us to work with clients with the most severe learning and physical disabilities as well as others with less severe problems, fulfilling the Able2B ethos of offering opportunities to all however severe their problems.
The added advantage of being able to introduce a resistance current means we can adjust the level of exercise to improve cardiovascular fitness and strength as ability progresses.
We feel the possibilities are endless!
