I am not sure what resources are out there reguarding therapeutic need for pool useage. However I wanted to say that it is a life skill that most people need and require if they are near a body of water be it salt or fresh water . If the child or adult falls in or goes in a boat it would eliminate unnecessary fear or decrease the life experiences available for a full life.
So it is a thought that most humans need to learn this skill in a safe environment.

Hi All:
I am wondering if anyone can give me any resources (websites, references etc.)
which provide evidence in support of Therapeutic Pool Activities and / or
Swimming. At the facility where I work they are going through an architectural
re-development of the entire facility. In the new plans they are planning to
eliminate the swimming pool. The OTs and Recreationists are trying to advocate
for a swimming pool in the new plans. But we are unable to find any substantial
research evidence in support of therapeutic activities which may be conducted in
the pool with a special focus on clients with major mental illness.
ANY help with the above would be deeply appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Biraj
