We received this information on the Aquatherapy program running at the Deep River Community Pool from Sarah Hosbons, Senior Pool Supervisor, Town of Deep River, 613-584-2000 ext. 181. If anyone has any questions, they can contact Sarah at the pool.
The many benefits of AquaTherapy include improved balance and coordination, improved muscle circulation and strength, increased joint flexibility, and enhanced aerobic capacity. This program is useful for a variety of medical conditions and rehabilitation from injuries and/or surgeries. Participants who bring a personal support worker or a family member to assist who has swimming knowledge is welcome at no additional
cost. If assistance is required, please see the pool supervisor so that an instructor can be assigned to you. An additional fee will apply. Thursdays Jan. 9-March 12 9:30-10:15 a.m. 10 weeks, $104.30 HST incl.

More cleats have arrived, so if you didn't get yours yet, now is your chance!
Winter is coming, and keeping seniors active and safe is our goal. ‘Ice Cleats’ are used by outdoor workers in several Ontario counties. The SFC has found a supplier, purchased a quantity, and will be selling them at a reduced price to members. Ice Cleats are easy to put on boots which have a step at the heel (but may not work for tennis-shoe soles). An adjustable elastic strap rotates the pad to the top of footwear for indoor wear or while driving. The rubber pad contains 5 tungsten carbide studs, pad is 44 mm by 77 mm (1.75 by 3 inches); thickness is 8 mm (0.3 inches). Price for SFC members is $25.
