Three ways to access the pools

There are three ways to access the pools with the Hippocampe Pool wheelchair:
The first way is to go down the access slope and then pull yourself out of the floating wheelchair.
The second way is to immobilize the pool wheelchair, using the brakes of the wheelchair, transfer to the ground at the edge of the water and then go down into the pool.
Finally, you can also, with the help of a third person, go down the small steps of the pool to access the water.

Disinfection

The Hippocampe pool wheelchair is designed to be rinsed and disinfected regularly.

Medical device

The swimming pool wheelchair meets the requirements of medical devices, CE and ISO 13 485. Its seat is treated to resist fire.

Passage through the foot bath

The footbath deteriorates the wheelchairs of disabled people because of the high level of chlorine. The water wheelchair pool goes through the footbath and keeps the area clean. The use of the swimming pool wheelchair will avoid the hygiene problems linked to the access of a city wheelchair inside a wet zone.

Swimming disability

Swimming is the most practiced sport by people with special needs. It allows most of them, from light to heavy disabilities, to use their motor skills in a weightless situation. The hippocampe pool facilitates access to swimming lessons for disabled people.
