Float Sessions

As part of our commitment to supporting member wellbeing, Hampshire Police Federation may be able to fund a float session for members where there is a clear wellbeing benefit. Applications are considered on a case-by-case basis and must be submitted by a Federation Representative. Applicants must also be members of the Group Insurance Scheme to be eligible.

What is Floating?

Floating provides an opportunity to relax in a calm, near weightless environment designed to reduce external stimulation and promote physical and mental wellbeing.

Many people use floating as a way to unwind, manage stress and support their overall wellbeing. It has also been used by those seeking relief from muscle and joint discomfort, improved recovery following physical activity, and better sleep patterns.

Benefits for the body may include

Deep relaxation
Improved stress resilience
Relief from muscle aches and joint discomfort
Support for recovery following physical activity
Reduced fatigue
Improved sleep quality
Reduced blood pressure and heart rate
Enhanced recovery and rejuvenation

Benefits for the mind may include

Reduced stress and anxiety
Improved focus and concentration
Greater mental clarity
Increased creativity
Enhanced problem-solving ability
Improved mindfulness and relaxation
Opportunities for reflection and self-awareness

A float session may be considered where it could:

Support a member's wellbeing
Assist with returning to work or preventing absence
Complement existing treatment or support
Help maintain wellbeing where other options have been explored

If you feel that you, or a member of your team, would benefit from a float session, please contact the Federation Office. We will arrange for a Federation Representative to discuss the circumstances and, where appropriate, submit an application on your behalf.

Float sessions are currently available through approved float centres in Portsmouth and Fleet.
