Open toolbar Facilities Hydropool Palatine Primary School is proud to offer our children access to a Hydrotherapy Pool. It is an impressive, multi-sensory environment which offers an alternative venue for curriculum delivery. Providing an opportunity for pupils to gain physical confidence and skills, which they may not have out of the water, as well as providing a specifically designed therapeutic space. In addition to allowing pupils the opportunity to explore and develop confidence in the water, the pool enables freedom of movement, balance, weight bearing and co-ordination in addition to developing early swimming skills. Having a dedicated, full time swimming coach and lifeguard allows us to offer a broad range of experiences for our children in a safe and structured environment. Focussing on the following programmes we can encompass all classes across the school: Physiotherapy Sensory requirements Early Years and Inclusive Learn to Swim Programmes (based on Swim England ‘ASA’) Water Skills, Confidence and Safety (based on Swim England ‘ASA’- School Swimming and Water Safety Charter) All pupils are fully assessed for health to enter the water and continually updated on their individual level of water skills competencies and hydrotherapy programmes.
