SWIMMING
For many of our campers exercise in water appeals to them because of the unique quality of buoyancy of water that reduces joint loading and impact, and decreases the negative influences of poor balance and poor postural control.
Additionally, swimming is a great activity to escape the summer heat and it's just good fun!
Certified lifeguards are on duty for swimming activities along with qualified staff, many who are certified in life saving techniques.
