Our AquaRehab / Open Pool sessions provide a warm, supportive space for people wanting to move independently in the water without the structure of a traditional AquaFit class.

These sessions may suit those returning to movement after injury or surgery, managing pain or restricted movement, building strength and mobility, or simply wanting independent pool time at their own pace.

Sessions are held in our heated, enclosed mineral pool and are partially supervised by a Swim Mangawhai instructor, who can assist with entering and exiting the pool, pool equipment and help you feel comfortable in the water. These are open pool sessions rather than individually prescribed rehabilitation or hydrotherapy.

For anyone recovering from injury or surgery, or managing a health condition, we strongly encourage you to seek guidance from your physiotherapist, chiropractor or other appropriate healthcare practitioner about the exercises and movements most suitable for you. We are very happy for you to bring their recommendations into the pool with you.

Enjoy the freedom to move at your own pace, in your own way, while experiencing the comfort and buoyancy of our warm mineral pool.
