A UNIQUE water-based exercise project has moved from Blackbird Leys to elsewhere in Oxford.
Fluid Motion, a social enterprise offering custom hydrotherapy sessions to people of all ages, started at the Leys Pools and Leisure Centre earlier this year to see if the new design would work.
But after a trial period group leader Ben Wilkins said sessions haved moved to BrookesSport Botley and Barton Swimming Pool.
He said while staff were very supportive the pool just didn't work with their classes.
The sessions are now being held in Botley on Thursdays from 6.30pm to 7.30pm and in Barton on Tuesdays from 2pm to 3pm.
Fluid Motion uses gentle exercises to relieve osteoarthritis, for post-operative rehab, stroke rehab and to treat other musculoskeletal conditions.
It was set up to support local GPs and the NHS through guided exercise and can help to improve strength, reduce disability and pain and boost stamina.
Mr Wilkins said: "It's not traditional aqua-aerobics. The whole point is that every person that attends is given a project specific to their needs.
"Every person will have a water-proof tablet computer on the side of the pool and the instructor will manage the session.
"After every single exercise people can give feedback and get better recommendations each week they come back."
Each session costs between £2.50 and £7 depending on age and pool membership status. For more information visit fluid-motion.org.uk
