The only one of those I have ever seen was in Cleburne TX, about 1000 miles

from me. LOL. Around here " fitness centers " are mainly weight training for

body builder " muscle men " and none have pools.

Lamar,

In your posts regarding swimming pool you stated:

" I am curious as to the methods you suggest be used by someone with marked

leg weakness to even get into and out of a pool safely. I have tried to

figure out methods with no success. "

Several fitness centers here, have lifts for people to use. They are a

canvas chair-like devise and it lowers you into the water. My husband's

aunt used this device when she went for water therapy. It worked for her.

I believe when she finished her therapy, she was then placed in a wheelchair

and taken to the dressing room.

moving on up...believe me we have a long way to go.
