Slopes in swimming pools

Transfer walls allow users to transfer from a wheelchair to the pool with ease. Their design must ensure stability and comfort for a safe transition. These structures are essential for individuals with reduced mobility who may require support to move.

The platform should have a free space of 150 x 150 cm and a height of 40-50 cm.
The depth should be between 30 and 40 cm, and the length should be at least 150 cm.
It should have support bars perpendicular to the pool wall, with a free space of 60 cm on both sides.
