Windmill hydrotherapy Pool
Finally the Windmill hydrotherapy pool at Fulbourn is back in use. Hurrah!
We have a new day and time which is Saturday Mornings 10.25 -11.40am
Term time only presently.
Please come along and join us if your child needs warm water or a secure
environment to swim.
The cost will be £2.00 per child. The adult carer goes free.
Siblings are welcome, but in the event of there being too many people,
(Maximum 20 people) priority will be given to those with a therapeutic need.
Hope to see you on Saturdays!
Parkside Pool
The City of Cambridge Swimming Club (CoCSC) at
Parkside pool now offers children/adults with disabilities an opportunity to
receive advanced swimming training within a club environment. Rebecca Gilbertson is currently
providing the swimming coaching at these sessions. The sessions are on
Thursday evenings from 6.00 to 7.00pm. The lessons are suitable for
children/adults who can swim unaided and are keen to take their swimming a step
further - there is no age limit.
Details about location and disabled access for Parkside pool can be found
here
Chesterton Community College Pool
We have a session at Chesterton Community College
on Gilbert Road on Sundays in starting on 10th September 2006
between 4 and 5pm.. These sessions are aimed at more able
children (from 6 years upwards) with an objective of learning to
swim. A parent or sibling can go into the pool if
necessary. These are structured lessons for those
wanting to further develop their swimming skills in a deeper pool.
It is recognised that the Abbey and Castle pools may be too shallow
for older, larger children, so the Chesterton pool is also aimed at
this group of children irrespective of their swimming ability.
However if the child is particularly immobile, they may find the
warmth of the Castle Hydrotherapy pool more comfortable.
The Abbey Pool
These are held at the Abbey Pool from 4.30pm till 6.00pm on a
Saturday. These are generally more informal
sessions. This is a family swim session and
participants will also have the opportunity to receive swim
instructions if they wish. All families are welcome and sessions are
run through the school holidays.
Price: £3.30 per adult (free for single adult accompanying
disabled child), £1.65 per child, and free for under 3's
The Castle School Hydrotherapy Pool **
The sessions at the Castle school are currently cancelled due
to lack of finance. Please check this website or emails for details
on future sessions.

Family Fun Session
Please
note a family fun session at Chesterton is where parents/carers will
need to accompany their child in the pool along with any siblings
wishing to swim. This is a good opportunity for families with
older children and siblings to have the whole pool for play and fun,
making use of the pool toys that Chesterton can provide. Note that
for family fun sessions at Chesterton, the entry price for the
session is a little higher than for a normal session.
