Swimming for Cancer Patients & Survivors – Healing Through Water

For Cancer Patients and Survivors

You Are Not Alone

At De slag hardenberg, we understand that a cancer diagnosis can be life-changing. Whether you are currently undergoing treatment, in remission, or navigating life as a survivor, we are here to support you every step of the way. Our mission is to provide resources, encouragement, and a safe space where you can find strength, hope, and connection.

Gentle Movement, Strengthened Recovery

Cancer treatments can take a toll on both the body and mind, leaving patients and survivors with fatigue, muscle weakness, and reduced mobility. Swimming in warm water provides a safe, soothing, and effective way to regain strength, improve endurance, and restore confidence. Our specialized swimming sessions at De Slag are designed to support those currently undergoing treatment, as well as survivors looking to rebuild their physical and mental well-being.

The Healing Power of Water

Water offers a unique environment where movement becomes effortless yet effective. The buoyancy reduces strain on the joints and muscles, allowing for pain-free mobility while increasing strength and flexibility. The warm temperature of the pool helps relax muscles, relieve stress, and promote circulation—key benefits for those recovering from treatments such as chemotherapy or surgery.
