Waders offers exercise in water for Adults with physical difficulties.
Whether your problem is neurological (eg MS), orthopaedic (eg fracture, joint replacement) or rheumatic (eg arthritis, fibromyalgia, CRPS) in origin, it is likely that you will benefit from exercise in water. Buoyancy enables you to perform activities which are often difficult or painful on dry land.
We offer the following sessions:

Blackshots Teaching Pool
Tuesdays 7.15-8.30pm / 8.30-9pm

Tuesdays 7.30-8.10pm / 8.20-9.00pm
Please telephone before attending your first session so you know what to expect and to book your slot each week. Please bear with us. Numbers allowed in each session have been reduced so you may not be able to attend every week.
