Now, I can even go in to the deep end which I couldn’t when I started.
The exercise has improved my arm strength, and I feel more relaxed when I finish a session.
I love coming to the session, I leave feeling energised and look forward to coming each week, it’s one of my favourite things.
Clive makes it lots of fun and its good getting to know the others who have started coming.
Neither of us are swimmers but I am more confident in the water, and I can hold myself up rather than falling all over the place.
It makes common sense as we get old, being taught the correct way to get up if we have a fall.
Becoming more stable by doing the exercises helps too and shows that we can get up without assistance. If I hadn’t been shown how to get up then I would previously shouted for Pat to help. Something she finds hard work.
This is inspiring work by Be Well.
The focus on self-management, including how to get off the floor is brilliant.
We need to provide awareness and support to the public on how they can prevent falls and promote good bone health. Well done.
I always slept really well afterwards.
My wife said I should do more stuff like it on a regular basis.
I have a frozen shoulder, painful joints and arthritis. The exercise helped with the pain. It made me more flexible. Mentally, it uplifted me, and I felt better for going. Good chatting with other people, it was an evening out and I looked forward to it.
Swimming helped me to lose inches off my waistline…
and strengthen my core muscles.
We got to know the different instructors who were all very approachable. Each week we built on what we learnt the previous weeks, and sometimes we revisited the basics to ensure that we had the techniques grounded in.
