Although he is keen to return to swimming, Mr McGuire is anxious about how he will manage this. You talk through some of the options which might help him, which include:
- Explore some of the barriers/perceived barriers he has with regards to returning to swimming
- Discuss possible solutions to these barriers
- Seek advice from occupational therapy about how to adapt the activity in order to make it accessible for Mr McGuire again, e.g. is there a particular piece of equipment which might help? Can the activity be done in a modified way/different environment? Does Mr McGuire require physical assistance?
