For many seniors, enjoying a dip in the pool is one of the summer's greatest pleasures.Water not only refreshes, it also brings health benefits: it helps improve circulation, strengthens muscles and joints, and reduces pain.
However, access to the water is often the big obstacle. In above-ground or above-ground pools, vertical ladders are narrow, slippery and require strength and balance that is often difficult to maintain. Even in pools with built-in ladders, they can generate insecurity and fear of falling.
In this scenario, the pool lift becomes a simple, comfortable and safe solution for the elderly to enjoy the water without barriers.
The most common problems when getting in and out of the pool
- Vertical ladders are difficult to use: they force considerable effort on arms and legs.
- Lack of stability: the risk of slipping is high, especially on wet surfaces.
- Dependence on outside help: many older people need support from family members or caregivers to enter the water, which reduces their autonomy.
- Fear of access: insecurity when entering or leaving the pool can make many people give up bathing.

✅ How an ACCESS pool lift helps solve the accessibility problem
A lift is designed to provide smooth, effortless access by solving all of these problems:
1. Gradual entry and exit
The person sits comfortably in the seat of the lift and, by simply operating a knob, descends into the water in a controlled and safe manner. No sudden movements, no physical force is required.
2. Greater safety and confidence
The risk of falling disappears, as there is no need to climb or descend slippery steps. This gives peace of mind to both the elderly person and their family members.
3. Autonomy and independence
The ACCESS lifts models all allow the user to operate the lift himself, which means that he can enjoy the pool without needing help from third parties.
4. Less effort for caregivers
Family members or caregivers no longer have to perform awkward maneuvers or lift weights to help enter or exit the water, also avoiding injury to them.
