The University of Maryland Rehabilitation and Orthopaedic Institute's August Amputee Support Group will meet on August 15, 2018 in the Aquatic Center. There will not be a speaker this month, instead they invite you to experience the heated pool! UMROI PTs will be on hand to help. No swimming skills or experience are needed.
Please note space is VERY limited for this event and you are asked to RSVP if you plan to participate. To RSVP or if you have any questions, please call (410) 448-6731 or send an email to geraldmorgan@umm.edu.
For those who wish to participate, the staff at UMROI has some additional information to share:
- Please bring a swimsuit, towel, water shoes (optional) and a lock if you plan to use the lockers onsite. (You will have access to the lockers.) If you need assistance changing clothes or dressing, please bring that person with you.
- Leave jewelry at home or in a locker.
- Do not use perfumes or lotions prior to getting in the pool
- If you have open wounds, active infections, or bowel/bladder issues, you cannot enter the pool.
If you don't want to participate or you are unable to, there will be space on the pool deck for spectators.
