Hannah, who shared her story in one of our videos, has come a long way in her rehabilitation. When she started her rehabilitation in the Physio Pool she needed the hoist to get her into the water and had her arms and legs moved for her. She then progressed to using a buoyancy aid, to kicking with a board and to swimming while using a mask and snorkel. On her 26th birthday she she swam (with some rests) 26 lengths of the pool! You can read the full ODT article about the progress Hannah’s is making in and out of the pool here.
