APEM help the Seashell Trust
The water quality testing kit maintains a safe and happy environment for all
APEM recently made a generous and helpful donation to the Seashell trust by purchasing a water testing kit for their two swimming pools. The testing kit costs £600 which would be a significant expense for a charity.
The portable testing kit allows pool staff at the Seashell Trust to quickly and conveniently monitor the water quality of their swimming and hydrotherapy pools. Ultimately, the equipment makes the whole learning environment safer for the children by ensuring chlorine and pH levels meet safety guidelines. The Trust’s staff can use the portable test kit at the pool side quickly and reliably without having to enter the pools pumping room.
Both pools are used by disabled and able bodied children, teenagers and adults to help enhance the quality of life for the children associated with the trust. The disabled children are can swim with their family and friends in a safe environment which is monitored by ASA level II qualified swimming instructors.
The Seashell Trust’s hydrotherapy pool was one of the UK’s first fully interactive sensory pools and features a fully interactive sound and light capability, both above and below the water.
The Trust’s main pool is used to teach children and teenagers to swim. This is a valuable life skill to have and also helps build the children’s confidence. The children can also gain ASA swimming badges; this gives a sense of pride and achievement for their endeavours.
The Seashell Trust’s facilities are open to the public and other special schools are welcome to use the facilities.
