Participants of the first and second groups will have the opportunity to do warm-up and breathing exercises with an expert, and in the pool exercises to increase the range of motion, strengthen muscles and a light swimming program with props.
As a reminder, in the previous year the Municipality of Kotor started the implementation of the project "Social Inclusion in Montenegro" financially supported by the Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
The main goal of the project is the implementation of activities aimed at the inclusion and social integration of vulnerable groups, especially people with disabilities whose physical and sensory abilities are impaired in the long term. Through sports practice, with the aim of sensori-motor and psychophysical recovery, physical activity is promoted as rehabilitation, educational and social practice according to socio-health protocols. These activities help improve the quality of life and health protection, and represent one of the means for social integration.
