Accessibility to Your Endless Pool

Bookmark This Page  |  Send To A Friend

A partially in-ground swimming pool is most accessible because the pool's top edge is located at a height that makes it comfortable for you to sit down and then swing your legs in. The underwater benches serve as a step into and out of the pool.

	Above-ground. The distance from the floor to the top of the pool's steel wall is 42", plus another 2" or more for the coping material on top of the wall. A step can be constructed outside the pool to increase accessibility.
	Partially In-ground, bench-height edge. The Endless Pool's exterior walls extend 18" to 24" above the floor. This makes it possible to sit down on the coping as if it were a bench. This effect may be created without excavation by building decking around the pool, if ceiling height permits.
	In-ground. The in-ground pool, with pool coping flush with the floor, requires the swimmer to sit on the floor when entering the pool. If you find this type of pool difficult to enter, you may wish to add the corner step or full-depth stair option plus a hand rail or grab bar.

The distance from the pool top (including coping) to the underwater bench is about 29". If this distance is too far, our full-depth stair or the optional corner step may be appropriate.

Check ou the videos on the Standard-Depth page which also hightlight some accessibility issues.

Endless Pools offers a variety of options, including a hand rail, spa rail and grab bars, to make access easier for anyone. For those who need greater assistance, we can provide the name of a manufacturer who makes a hydraulic lift that is powered by a garden hose.
