Default Re: Handicap Accessible Swimming Pool

ds...

I have not seen any pools that have a "ramp like" gradual entrance...all that I have seen have steps. But, I certainly haven't seen them all, so, if anyone knows differently, please speak up.

However, at least 2 pools have a handicap lift (a chair for lowering someone into the water and bringing them back out). According to the RecDept handbook, right now Allamanda Family Pool (near Poinciana and Liberty Park neighborhoods) and Calumet Grove (adult/neighborhood pool in far NW corner) are listed as having handicap lifts. I thought there might be one or two more, but, that's all that show up in their guide. A call to the customer service center should get you a more accurate answer.

Hope this helps...
