About the Therapy Pool

The warm water therapy pool is designed for people of all ages to carry out a doctor's therapy and rehabilitation recommendations, counter the effects of such diseases as arthritis, and in general benefit from the therapeutic value of warmer water. Because the ambient temperature and humidity level are much greater than a traditional indoor pool and because the pool's purpose is for specialized exercise every person must have a release signed by their doctor on file at the Human Services Center before using the pool. The release form must be signed by the participant’s physician or medical professional (MD, DO, DPT, NP or PA) to authorize use of the pool. Obtain a form at the front desk or click on the link to the right under Resources.

Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
