Independence for all abilities in water
Floatsation has been developed by Martin Mansell, Paralympic Swimmer and winner of 3 Gold, 4 Silver and 2 Bronze medals at 2 Paralympic games.
Martin Mansell is the driving force behind Floatsation. His mission is to bring the benefits of enjoying the water to disabled youngsters and adults.
He really does understand those benefits himself having competed in international competitions over the years. He has 3 Paralympic gold medals, 4 silver and 2 bronze along with 2 world championships, 2 European championships and 15 other international accolades.
Enjoying the water with Floatsation has immeasurable benefits. In addition to the physical enjoyment of gaining water skills the increased confidence can lead to improved self-esteem and independence.
Then there’s increased spatial awareness, great exercise, team skills and relaxation.
That all adds up to quality of life improvements only possible through positive experiences.
The original product Floatsation® was developed in the mid-1990s and was promoted as a teaching and hydrotherapy aid to physiotherapists and SEN teachers. Re-developed in 2003 by Martin Mansell Floatsation® has gone on to be one of the most inclusive swimming / floating aids ever proving popular with swimming teachers, therapists and parents in all swimming settings, whether school, Leisure centre or at home. Martin believes that everyone should be able to enjoy the freedom that being in water brings.
Incidentally, Martin has spent a lot of time in the water over the years. He won 11 medals in the pool (including 4 gold medals) at two Paralympics (’84 and ’88).
