Hydrotherapy services will be available from March 2008 at the Wellington Regional Aquatic Centre (WRAC) in Kilbirnie.

The project is a joint initiative between Wellington City Council and the Capital and Coast District Health Board. The service will be used primarily by patients to help their recuperation, but it will also be available for use by the general public for structured programmes and as a dedicated facility for learn-to-swim classes.

The Capital and Coast District Health Board will conduct hydrotherapy services in the learners pool for 20 hours a week, Monday to Friday mornings.

The project has taken 15 months to complete.

The services are a part of the Aquatic Centre's Shallow Water Play Project.

The Council is spending $0.948 million to provide hydrotherapy services. This is part of the Aquatic Centre's overall redevelopment.
