Teddington Hydrotherapy Pool






Teddington Hydrotherapy Pool, in Teddington next door to Teddington main pool, it has a blue and orange sign with an arrow pointing to the pool.

This pool is great for anyone who suffers from aches and pains or those who are in wheelchairs and when in the water they feel free.




The water temp. is 35-36c - it can be warmer or a bit cooler depending whether the boiler is playing up or not.



There are accessible changing rooms and a shower room that is also an accessible toilet, there is a shower that you can use that is just by the Hydrotherapy Pool.



To enter the pool there are steps but there is also a hoist chair that the lifeguards can help use.



The price to use Teddington Hydrotherapy Pool is £12 from 10am - 11am or you can choose from the times that you can use the Hydrotherapy Pool from the website at:




to find out the times etc.



There is a small car park with four bays at an angle and also half a disabled bay by the ramp that takes the other half.


There is either a steep slope to the Hydrotherapy Pool or a gentle ramp down, there are walking frames that you can use to reach the poolside.


Just inside the entrance are two metal tables and chairs that you can use if you are waiting for your slot in the Hydrotherapy Pool, there is not a drinks machine that you can get coke from but they have put a water dispenser that you can use.

The pool is 10 metres long and it has a metal bar all the way round the pool for you to hold onto if you wish.

I go on Saturday morning and I have a set of exercises that I do in the water I also swim some lengths if the pool is not too busy.
