Poolpod @ Aquanale 2025 – Making Pools Truly Inclusive

Better water access means:
• Rare freedom of movement for disabled people
• An unmatched environment for rehabilitation
• Joint-safe exercise for ageing populations
• More opportunities for those with limited options

Now everyone can swim:
Poolpod is always ready at the poolside – no lifting, no hassle.
It supports standing users or submersible wheelchairs, and allows independent or accompanied use.
Designed for dignity, confidence, and true inclusion.

See it live at Aquanale 2025:
• Roll-on, roll-off access – no transfers
• Space for two – carer and user together
• Fully user-controlled – no lifeguard needed
• Portable, safe, and backed by manual override

Come see what inclusive design looks like in action.

🌊 Swimming for Everyone! 🌊

We love hearing stories like this one from South Oxhey Leisure Centre, where a swimmer with disabilities praised their fantastic accessible facilities! 🏊‍♂️ At Poolpod, we’re proud of our product that’s transforming lives by making swimming easy and dignified for people with mobility challenges.

Swimming provides many physical and mental health benefits, including pain relief and suitability for low-impact exercises. Yet, many are kept from experiencing these benefits due to outdated accessibility solutions, like traditional pool hoists.

We recently have launched our new Poolpod 3.0, that provides dignified, independent pool entry for wheelchair users and anyone who finds ladders challenging​​. Featuring intuitive controls, space for a caregiver, and integrated seats, perfectly made to ride with a friend.

Together, let’s make swimming accessible and enjoyable for everyone!
