Mobile hoists make pools accessible to all

Access to swimming pools is now easier for disabled people, thanks to the introduction of mobile pool hoists at the AC Baths and Tūrangi Turtle Pools.
The pool hoist allows a disabled person to have access to the swimming pool without the need for manual lifting from a carer, or the use of a ramp.
There is one hoist at each facility, which staff can move around the complex and anchor alongside any of the pools, even a private pool at the AC Baths.
