The hydrotherapy pool at Galashiels Academy is a specialist facility, designed primarily to support individuals with specific health, mobility, or rehabilitation needs. For this reason, priority access is given to those with a referral or identified clinical or additional support requirements.
We’re encouraged by the level of interest in the facility. At present, our focus is on ensuring the pool delivers maximum benefit to those who need it most.
As we continue to develop the programme in partnership with Live Borders, we will keep access under review and share any updates regarding wider availability as they become available.
