| With warm water as a medium that supports the body and makes movement easier, each participant's program is developed for their individual needs and goals. Instruction is geared toward helping the child or adult reach his potential in range of motion, flexibility, strength, ambulation, and coordination. The following are general categories of instruction: One-to-one instruction provides for those with severe disabilities who need constant assistance with their water activities. Regular instruction serves those needing or desiring ongoing help. Independent pool time is for those who have been in the program and are continuing a maintenance program. Arthritis Aquatics classes are offered based on a program of medically approved exercises developed by the National Arthritis Foundation. All classes are scheduled individually for specific days and times. A lift is available for getting non-ambulatory persons into and out of the water. There is an orthopedic bar at the steps going into the water. Currently registration forms and a fee schedule are available by calling the Kernes Pool office, 831-372-1240. | |||||||||||||||
