Community swimming pools in Portugal must also comply with accessibility criteria, especially when seeking to ensure that all residents can enjoy the common space. National regulations and accessibility recommendations indicate that these pools must incorporate solutions that facilitate access to the water for people with reduced mobility, such as ramps, handrails and mechanical water entry and exit systems.
Although the obligation to install access devices may vary according to the type of community and local regulations, incorporating an accessible lift is of great value for the coexistence and safety of neighbors, promoting an inclusive environment that respects all needs.
