Healing Waters - Aquatic Therapy Program
Since Harman Swim Center's water temperature is kept at 88-89 degrees, it allows us to offer a wide range of lessons and water fitness activities for guests of all ages. Harman offered a special aquatic program under the Therapeutic Recreation called Healing Waters. Healing Waters was a program that provided an opportunity for people with mobility issues to have access to a warm water pool program to support their fitness objectives. Participants may have been working on maintaining fitness levels to support their daily activities, rehabilitating from an injury or surgery, or preparing for/recovering from a joint replacement. Physical therapy patients utilized our program for their PT exercises as they worked with a therapist outside of our program or after being released from therapy. While participating in the program, participants had guidance and support from the aquatic specialists and trained volunteers in the pool.
