It's been great working with @Swim_England - in response to Covid we re-trained our Aquatic AI to support people with MSK conditions on land @ home. BUT, we are due to launch in 40 new pools by April 2021. 🚀⭐️👍#communityMSK
17 Nov 2020
We have worked with @Good_Boost to provide an exercise rehabilitation app that can be used at home during periods of lockdown or other times when you can’t get to your local pool!
To find out more and access the app, go to the Good Boost website 👇
