Sorry @Zoffiel am worried I am stepping on your toes.I have been a bit surprised that Victoria has no Encore program - am mor e than happy to let you investigate your public hospitals to see if they have hydrotherapy pools. I especially think it may be a way forward for regional Victoria rather than that awful pool you described. Hygiene should be paramount in a hospital and water temperature has to be high about bath temperature 32 degrees/ more to avoid injuries and relax muscles to maximise benefit.
