New Pool Pods to improve accessibility!

Published on 18 October 2022

Monash Aquatic & Recreation Centre will be installing two Pool pods that will replace the current hoists in the indoor 25m pool and Warm Water Exercise pool.

Poolpod is a multi-award winning swimming pool lift, transforming pool accessibility.

What can the Poolpod provide for you?

• The system offers our swimmers more independence
• The lifts are accessible for a range of mobility difficulties
• Users can stand or wheel themselves onto the platform which lowers them into the pool
• Lifeguards are always alerted when the system is in use
• Rest assured that there are safety sensors to prevent entrapment

Key dates to be aware of:

• Monday 24 October 8:00pm: removal of existing hoist. No hoist accessibility access to 25m pool from this date.
• Wednesday 2 November 9:00am: Pool Pod accessibility access open
