Paralyzed and Swimming at the Poly

[Trishtack]

DH is paralyzed from navel down. He is missing swimming very much. We are staying at the Poly from 9/26 - 10/2. Anyone have any advice/experience on how he could utilize the pool?

Thanks

The Poly has a zero entry pool, which means there is a gentle slope to enter the water as opposed to a stair/ladder.

There should (and used to) be a water wheelchair available- one can borrow it and go straight in.

During the time of year it looks like your going, traffic should be a bit slower than high season- should make the pool a little more empty, giving more space.

Do be sure to let the lifeguard on duty know what's going on and you/your husband's concerns and past experience.

Don't go swimming alone (good advice for all).
