Local SWIM, Inc., Group Forming

Group offers free water exercise classes for adults unable to exercise because of issues such as stroke, disease or joint replacement.

SWIM, Inc. is a non-profit organization that provides free water exercise programs for adults who find it difficult or impossible to get exercise on land due to the effects of MS, Parkinson’s Disease, stroke, fibromyalgia, RA, ALS, post polio syndrome, joint replacement surgery or other causes.  

The new HRC Fitness Chapter of SWIM, Inc. is planning to offer sessions on Tuesdays from noon to 1 p.m. at the HRC Fitness pool located at 30 Brower Lane in Hillsborough
 
Membership at HRC Fitness is not required and there is no fee charged by SWIM, Inc.      

The program will be made possible through the donation of pool time by the HRC Fitness and through the efforts of volunteers who are needed to run the program.  The program cannot begin until volunteers step forward.  Anyone who thinks they may be interested in helping with this program as a volunteer or who would like to participate in the program should call Angela Horan 908-399-3097 or e mail her at angela.horan014@gmail.com for more information.
