HI and welcome,If you're living in England, there's no swimming pools allowed to open during lockdown. https://www.swimming.org/swimengland/third-national-lockdown-reaction/
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Hi and welcome on board
There dont seem to be many carers on here as members but lots of people who use carers
Can you search on Google for private pool facilities in your area as we dont know which location you are in yo be able to offer suggestions
There is a carers section you may find useful have a look around -
@Amy1987 hi Amy I was a carer up untill March 2020 I am in Wales and there are no pools open here either
How are you copeing in the pandemic I had to stop when I got corona virus in March are you in a care home or in the community I was in the community
Respect for you working in the pandemic stay safe lovely -
Hi thankyou for your responses we are in the north west of England, I work one to one with a young lady with cerebral palsy, she doesn't understand why things are closed but has coped so well yet hates staying in and I think is now started to get agitated with no activities which unfortunately results in her not eating or drinking well as this is how she displays upset
Just looking for ideas on how others have coped with disabilities or supporting those with disabilities -
@Amy1987 its hard but at the moment lockdown is tough every where from what my brother tells me England is in lockdown until March my mum has dementia and is living with my brother she used to have day center most days she isnt copeing well
Unless anyone on here can help I am not much use as I am in wales most on here are England
@poppy123456 may know more than me or @Cher_Scope or @Ross_Scope sorry I can't be of much more help take care and stay safe -
There are other members from Wales here. I did comment on the thread earlier and advised that there's no pools open in England. My daughter is a carer for children and there's no pools open for them either, infact, there's nothing at all open except essential shops.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Yes I know, just didn't know if anywhere would possibly be different due to therapy needs and not pleasure as my client can still attend her rebound sessions at her specialist gym. Thankyou for all you're answers

Hi @Amy1987 - welcome to Scope. Thank you for joining in order to find out more for your young lady with CP.I'm hoping something in this link might help. I think everyone is getting frustrated & upset with the lockdowns, especially some of the more vulnerable people. Anyway please see this thread that Scope has put together; there's info about activities, & ways to help with stress: https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/75929/coping-with-stress-low-mood-and-isolation-a-support-thread#latest Hope some of the ideas there might help.

Hi @Amy1987 and welcome to the community, hope you're well.
I'm not certain about any private pools being open, but I believe all public ones will be closed, certainly in England where I am based. I wish I could be of further help. Maybe contact your local council about it?Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.
