Perth Leisure Pool

06/02/2019 By Perth Six Circle Project Leave a Comment

We used our local leisure centre for a morning swimming session as part of our weight management purpose for today. This activity was also to increase confidence and social interaction. Service users were eager to get along to the pool, everyone that required extra support buddied up with another service user, which showed the trust, and understanding our service users have for each other. The morning went very well with one service user showing tremendous improvement in his confidence. He has been to the pool before and been very nervous entering the pool as well as being in the water. On this visit, it was evident that he was more relaxed and trusting of those there to help him. He was happy to put his face in the water and at one point entered the water from the side of the pool rather than attempting the steps. He also walked through the waterfall area allowing the water to splash over his head and body. After our swimming session, we entered the leisure area where the group enjoyed the steam room and sauna before dressing to return to the Project. This was a very successful day and the service users expressed afterwards that they would like to participate in swimming activities on a regular basis.
