Pool Hippocampe

Swimming is the sporting discipline most practiced by handicapped individuals since it allows most people (from the slightly handicapped to the most heavily handicapped) to use their motor abilities in a weightless situation.

            The Pool Hippocampe - Like a Fish in Water 

Unfortunately, it is rare to find pools equipped with one or more wheelchairs providing access to the dressing room, showers, footbath, and access to a pool with a ramp or small steps to avoid the problems related to using a standard wheel chair in humid areas and preventing multiple transfers from a wheelchair to an often poorly adapted plastic chair.

With Vipamat’s Pool Hippocampe you can move freely about the pool without using your standard wheelchair or getting it wet and, avoiding hygiene problems related to having outside wheelchairs near pools.
