🌟 In Martyn's Memory 🌟
We are delighted to introduce Theodore 😍. This terms recipient of Martyn's Memorial Swim Space.
Alice, his mummy, shared...
Theodore has a rare heart condition that requires lifelong monitoring and ongoing hospital care. Calmababy provides opportunities that no other pool has been able to offer us.
Due to his condition, Theodore struggles to regulate his body temperature and can become very cold and turn blue very quickly. However, because the pool at Calmababy are kept much warmer than standard swimming pools, and with the support of a wetsuit, Theodore is able to take part in swimming lessons just like any other child.
These lessons have also led us to stay after swimming in the cafe where Theodore and I can socialise with other mums and toddlers from the class. This has given us both a wonderful support network and new friendships, while allowing Theodore to enjoy normal childhood experiences.
Calmababy removes many of the restrictions Theodore faces because of his condition and allows him to live a more normal and inclusive life.
We are incredibly grateful for the opportunities and support they provide.
Thank you Alice - we are thrilled to offer you and Theodore the place.
Happy Swimming!
