Our SwimEx pool allows us to use the unique properties of water to support recovery, rehabilitation, and performance.

Why aquatherapy works:

💧 Buoyancy – Water reduces the amount of body weight placed on your joints. This allows you to move with less pain and less impact, making it ideal for injury rehab or early return to activity.

💧 Hydrostatic pressure – The natural pressure of water helps reduce swelling and improve circulation, which can support recovery after injury or intense training.

💧 Resistance – Water provides gentle, consistent resistance in every direction, helping build strength, control, and stability while keeping stress on the body low.

SwimEx sessions are great for rehabilitation, active recovery, strength training, and return-to-sport progression.

Come try it out!

One of the best parts of the conference? Seeing how students inspire each other ✨
We interviewed two presenters about their research projects and asked them which other project stood out to them most… and they both picked each other 😂🤝
Guess great minds really do think alike. 📚💡
