Water Wellbeing Programme

What is the Water Wellbeing Programme?
LiveWire is a proud partner of Swim England’s Water Wellbeing Programme, with two of our pools, Bewsey and Dallam Hub and Great Sankey Neighbourhood Hub, becoming two of the first sites in England to be Water Wellbeing Accredited. Since 2021, we have developed a successful Water wellbeing Programme which is designed to offer people with long term health conditions opportunities to manage their health and wellbeing through aquatic activity. Focus is on providing sessions which are:
  • Bespoke
  • Supportive
  • Accessible
  • Flexible
  • Varied
Our facilities are designed to be inclusive and accessible (Inc. link to accessibility guide) Our programme was awarded the Health Impact Award at Swim England’s National Awards in 2023 for the role it plays in supporting the health and wellbeing of many residents in Warrington, especially those who also live with long term health conditions.

Which sites run Water Wellbeing sessions?

We deliver Water Wellbeing sessions across all of our sites, mainly through Aqua Relax sessions. However, Bewsey and Dallam Community Hub was built with a primary focus on providing pool sessions for people living with long term health conditions, and therefore, has a more extensive Water Wellbeing Programme. This is supported by it’s unique offer of a hydrotherapy pool.

However, most of our pool sessions are a positive step for people looking for low-impact, supported exercise to manage long term health conditions.

Health Professionals

As a health professional, how could Aquatic Activity benefit your patients?

How to refer patients through to the Water Wellbeing Programme?

  • Patients can be referred through our Lifestyles Team by a health professional
  • Alternatively, we accept self referrals for programmes such as Good Boost
  • If advising patients to simply access the pool to manage a health condition without a need for support then patients can attend sessions such as our Aqua Relax sessions and pay-as-you-go, booking on via our app or directly at site. Alternatively, memberships are available

Our Water Wellbeing Programme can support people:

  • Living with joint and muscle pain (MSK issues)- may be long term or recovery after an injury
  • Living with Neurological conditions e.g. Parkinsons/MS/Dementia
  • Susceptible to falling or having mobility issues
  • Who struggle with the impact of land-based exercise
  • Who are overweight and looking for a first step back to exercise – aquatic exercise takes the weight off joints and the buoyancy properties can make movement easier.
