Poolpod pool access system endorsed by Paralympic swimmer

The swimming pool access system Poolpod is set to continue with further installations following the London 2012 Games.

London 2012 Paralympic swimmer Susie Rodgers launched the Poolpod at Mile End Park Leisure Centre, Tower Hamlets, London.

The system is designed for those who are disabled, less mobile or who are pregnant, and has a lift mechanism that fits to the side of swimming pools.

It is set to be installed at the London 2012 Aquatics Centre, which will shortly undergo transformation to become a new swimming facility for London.

Triple bronze medallist Susie Rodgers said: “London 2012 was fantastic for raising awareness of disabled sport and the introduction of the Poolpod will add towards the legacy of the Games by improving access to the water for everyone in a sport I owe so much to.”

British Swimming has bought seven Poolpods, which are being installed in a trial scheme across England. One of the first will go to Stoke Mandeville Stadium – the spiritual home of the Paralympic Games and the UK's national centre for disability sport.

Poolpod is a submersible swimming pool platform lift which enables people with limited mobility to have independent access to swimming pools. Any swimmer who finds using a pool ladder inappropriate can use Poolpod simply, easily and quickly.
