How it works
Why we swim, Karen's story
My name is Karen, I am married to a wonderful husband and I also have a lovely daughter.
I was diagnosed with MS (Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS)) in 2013. Following my diagnosis, I turned to MS Queensland. The information I was given gave me a little more control of my life. I have also been using support services, including, counselling and physiotherapy from the MS Queensland teams, whom I have found invaluable throughout this journey.
One of the things that has helped me a lot is swimming, not just for exercise but as a stress relief. I started aqua-aerobics almost 2 years ago with a fantastic group of ladies. This has helped me with my confidence in the pool.
