The session lasts 40 minutes in the small pool, 1.2 metres deep, with the water at 31 degrees. The first 15 minutes are walking and breathing drills at the poolside, then exercises for the back and knees, and free swimming with floats at the end.
It is led by Aliza Ben Ami, a coach in therapeutic swimming, with a lifeguard on duty beside her. Entry to the water is by a ladder with handrails, there is a chair for changing and a non-slip floor.
The group takes up to 12 people, so booking in advance is required. Bring a swimming cap, a towel and a certificate from your family doctor confirming you may take part in pool activity.
