Aqua Therapy

At The Swim Factory’s heated indoor pools (water temperature 30°C).

Water's buoyancy virtually eliminates the effects of gravity - supporting up to 90 percent of the body's weight for reduced impact and greater flexibility.

Water acts as a cushion for the body's weight-bearing joints, reducing stress on muscles, tendons and ligaments. As a result, aquatic workouts are low impact and can greatly reduce the injury and strain common to most land based exercises.

The unique properties of water enable your heart to work more efficiently. The hydrostatic pressure of water pushes equally on all body surfaces and helps the heart circulate blood by aiding venous return - blood flow back to the heart. This assistance to the heart accounts for lower blood pressure and heart rates during water exercise versus similar exertions on land.
