Adelaide Encore - free hydrotherapy program

The new dates are on the YWCA Adelaide website for the free Encore program.Basically starts October as term 3 most of us don’t like going out in the cold.

It is an 8 week program , 2 hours per week.Involves one hour hydrotherapy and each week is a guest speaker covering topics relevant to breast cancer.Is also a wonderful opportunity to meet up with others in the same boat - maybe even make new friends.

There are 2 locations - one north and one south.

From a personal viewpoint I found it excellent and highly recommend it.

If you are interested it may be an idea to apply quickly in case it fills.

Will try to paste details below but if am not successful go on YWCA Adelaide website.

    Ooooh! Just looked at the program - wonder if I can make the Friday one at the Repat.  Kids might not like having to hang around in town for hours after school though!

    PPS YWCA holds this program in some other states too - might be worth a look on your state YWCA web site. They also provide regional programs not just metropolitan. Last I looked NSW had an extensive number of programs but Victoria none.Here in SA it’s mainly metropolitan but they put the occasional regional program on.

    PS It is particularly recommended for those with lymphoedema.
