Swimming at Nether Hall School

The school has its own hydro therapy pool.  We employ two qualified life guards to help supervise swimming in our school pool.

What is hydrotherapy?

Hydrotherapy is a form of Physiotherapy where specific exercises are carried out in a purpose-built warm pool that is kept between 35.5 and 37 degrees Celsius.

The benefits of water-based exercise have been well recognised for thousands of years – dating as far back as the Ancient Greek and Roman civilisations.

What are the benefits of hydrotherapy? 

The warm water helps the muscles to relax which can ease pain and make exercise easier. 

The buoyancy of the water helps to support body weight, which can relieve pressure on joints, reduce pain and increase your movement. 

Exercise against the resistance of the water can improve muscle strength, co-ordination, endurance and balance. 

Hydrotherapy can help improve circulation and reduce swelling.
