Sports and Recreation

Physical activity helps to improve strength, fitness, and balance, maintain a healthy weight and reduce anxiety and depression.

Participants at Inspired can choose from a variety of sport and recreation activities. We are members of the leisure centre at the Brandon Hotel where participants can use the swimming pool and the gym, under the guidance of our sports and recreation tutor and our swimming coach. Our staff encourage and support participants to exercise outside as much as possible. Depending on the preference of the participants, we may play sports like football and basketball at local facilities, or go for walks in the park or at the beach. 

 

As part of outdoor recreation, participants often attend community events and take day trips to explore Co. Kerry and further afield. Participants are also supported by staff to attend  activities of their choosing in the local community. Some of the things we have tried include bowling, mini golf, horse riding, surfing and trampolining.
