Pool Facilities
We are incredibly lucky to work together with the fabulous Lake District Calvert Trust, near Keswick, Cumbria. On a Wednesday morning we have sole access to their amazing water centre.
​
The Pool is a fully accessible 12x6m multi-sensory hydrotherapy pool. It is kept nice and warm at 32-33°C, allowing us to benefit from this therapeutic temperature. You can read more about this in the above tab on the benefits of Aquatic Therapy.
​
A 6x6 meter portion of the pool floor is fully height adjustable. Throughout sessions this is used to adapt the pool depth to each individual, for optimum therapeutic effect.
​
We have the benefits of a state of cutting edge underwater treadmill.
​
The pool and changing facilities have a wide range of options, meaning we can help most disabilities enjoy the water.
​
