lel by theHuron Pay Care Centre for
e Homebound.
The. Centre's Stroke Recovery Clab is
making use of the indoor heated swimming
. pool at the Vanastra recreation Centre. The
weekly water therapy session offers Stroke.
Club clients an opportunity to relax and
socialize. .
•The Stroke Recovery Club, is .one of the
many programs offered at tiv Moron Day
mare -Centre. Stroke . vi . ims from
throughout the county meet at, the. Centre
every .Wednesday morning and. in the
summer months take part in a water
therapy program at the Vanastra pool.
The program, active during the summer
months, is •co-ordinated by Day Centre.
Activities Director Nancy Wise, with the
assistance of Sandy Fremlin, from the
Recreation Centre.
For 45 minutes, each Wednesday
morning, the Day Care clients relax in the
cool comfort of the pool and go through an
exercise routine led by Miss Fremlin.
Each client is assisted inthe water by a
volunteer who donates an hour -and -a -half of
time of their time each week to help out with
the water program.
"It's very hard to "find volunteers," Mrs.
Wise said, noting that all it requires is an
hour each week. Volunteers, she noted, don't
have to swim, their job is simply to assist
the stroke clients on an individual basis in
the waist deep water.
An average of 15 people attend the water
therapy club and as many as 20 could be
accommodated if there were enough
volunteers to help.
The water technique is a well established
program, but is relatively new to Huron
County. It isn't designed to cure or heal, but
acts as a recreational, social outlet.

'The *II' of the program is not to speed
recovery, or offer physiotherapy, but it does
keep muscles loose and prevent
contractions.
The 'Stroke. Club. therapy is one the
programs recommended by the Home Care
agency and Mrs. Bannerman noted, "Many
people who wouldn't take part in the
exercise program will take in. the pool
therapy."
The need for additional volunteers is,
essential to the continued subeess of the
program and Mrs. Bannerman warned,
