We provide free water exercise programs to adults who cannot exercise on land due to the effects of MS, Parkinson's Disease, ALS, stroke, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint replacement surgery or other causes. We have weekly sessions for one hour in the water and a one hour social hour following that in a nearby meeting room at the Ocean County YMCA in Toms River, NJ.
We need volunteers to assist the participants in the pool for their water exercise session and in some cases provide assistance to them getting in and out of the pool. Our volunteers also participate in the social hour which follows the water exercise session.
We need two things to make our programs possible. The first is the donation of a warm water indoor pool in which to do the water exercises. The Ocean County YMCA provides that. The second is a group of volunteers to run the program in their area. The volunteers need no special training and they do not have to be there every week.
The new name of the program is Y-SWIM and the contact is Pat Urso at 732-793-0246
