Queen’s Leisure Centre will be launching their first ever Dementia Friendly swimming

Thu 16 May 2019

On Thursday 13 June, Queen’s Leisure Centre will be launching their first ever Dementia Friendly swimming session.

A diagnosis of dementia doesn’t mean you have to stop taking part in the activities you enjoy. Swimming is a great all-round activity that is beneficial to everyone. It is particularly beneficial for people living with dementia as the sensation of being in the water can provide a calming and soothing effect.

Our Dementia Friendly swimming sessions allow you to continue doing something you love, or even give you the chance to try something new, in a safe and supportive environment.

These sessions will be held every Thursday in the Teaching Pool 12pm-1pm.

Carers swim for free.
