Outdoor Pool
An Outdoor Pool service is a facility that provides an Outdoor area with a water-filled basin for swimming and other water-based activities.
What is Outdoor Pool?
Outdoor pool refers to the use of a swimming pool or other water body as a therapeutic tool to aid in physical rehabilitation or relaxation. It can be used to improve muscle strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, as well as to reduce pain and stress. Outdoor pool is often used for people with injuries or conditions such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injuries. It may involve exercises, stretches, or aquatic massages and can be tailored to the specific needs and abilities of each individual.
This service is offered individually & as a package
Some things that may be needed to prepare for Outdoor Pool could include:
- Proper swimwear: clients should bring appropriate swimwear for the session.
- Towels: provided
- Sunscreen: if the session takes place in an Outdoor Pool, clients should bring sunscreen to protect their skin from sunburn.
- Water bottle: provided
- Showering: clients may need to shower before entering the pool to remove any oils or lotions from their skin that could affect the water chemistry.
- Health considerations: clients should consult with their healthcare provider if they have any health conditions that may affect their ability to participate in an Outdoor Pool therapy session, such as heart disease or skin conditions.
During an Outdoor Pool session, clients typically need a swimsuit or appropriate swimwear, a towel, and sunscreen (if needed). The therapist or instructor may also provide flotation devices or other equipment for exercises or activities in the water. It is important to stay hydrated during the session, so bringing a water bottle or having access to water is also recommended.
Outdoor pool is generally considered safe for most people. However, there are some contraindications to consider, including:
- Open wounds or infections: People with open wounds or infections should not use an outdoor pool to avoid the risk of contaminating the water and spreading the infection.
- Skin conditions: Individuals with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or severe acne may want to avoid outdoor pool therapy, as the chemicals and bacteria in the water may exacerbate their conditions.
- Chronic medical conditions: People with chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes should consult their healthcare provider before using an outdoor pool.
- Pregnancy: Pregnant women should talk to their healthcare provider before using an outdoor pool, as the high temperature can be harmful to the fetus.
- Children: Children under the age of three should not use an outdoor pool without a waterproof diaper, and children under the age of 14 should always be supervised by an adult.
It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new therapy, including outdoor pool therapy.
