How to use Activator Poles

Waterford Sports Partnership and Waterford City and County Libraries have joined forces to provide you with a new and exciting physical activity opportunity. You can now borrow a set of activator poles from four designated libraries in Waterford: Lismore, Dungarvan, Kilmacthomas and Ardkeen.
ACTIVATOR Poles are an adaption of Nordic Walking poles and have been developed by Canadian Therapists to promote balance and improve mobility. A full suite of support resources has been created to support you on how to use a borrowed set of activator poles. You can pick up a simple explanation leaflet in the library or watch our simplified support video on your smartphone or tablet device.
To be eligible to borrow a set of activator poles you must activate a FREE library membership online or in a branch of Waterford Libraries. If you’re already a library member just pop into the library!
