The trial of hydrotherapy sessions at Lime Academy will begin on 31st October. For further information including how to book, please see the communication from Peterborough City Council below:

“A four-week trial for the use of a hydrotherapy facility in Peterborough will commence later this month.

Following the council’s previous decision to close St George’s Hydrotherapy Pool, the authority has actively worked to find a new facility in the city.

After considering a number of venues and consulting with users of St George’s, we are pleased to confirm that a four-week trial for the hydrotherapy pool at Lime Academy Trust will get underway from Monday 31 October.

Councillor Steve Allen, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Communication, Culture and Communities, said: “The council is committed to providing hydrotherapy facilities in Peterborough and has actively worked to find a new facility which will benefit all users in the city. I'm pleased that the trial can now get under way and we will review its progress before making any further decisions."

The hydrotherapy pool is based at Lime Academy Trust, Orton Clayton Campus, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, PE2 5SD and there is ample free parking on site.

The facility is 10m x 4m and has a Jacuzzi area, heated at 36 degrees. Sessions are Monday - Thursday from 5.30pm to 8.30pm and Saturdays 9am to 3pm.

A member of staff will attend every session to deal with the operational side of the pool service and helping users with any queries whilst on site. The pool capacity’s is for a maximum of 10 users at a time.

Sessions cost £12 per person and can be booked via the council’s service desk phone number 01733 747474 and selecting option 5. Lines are open from 9am until 12 noon.”
