Molly's comments on this pool
Having an easily accessible pool at home has changed my world. Dealing with quadriplegia since 1995, I have relied on distant public facilities for the freedom of my pool time. Now, the only driving I have to do involves rolling out my back door and getting into my crystal clear, warm water pool whenever I like. I move, I float, I sing, I dream …. oh, and I exercise …. and heal. I’m loving my full-body tan. No swimsuits needed in this private, convenient and perfect environment!
In researching modular, multi-piece pools, this healing pool was clearly the winner. Affordable, well designed structurally and mechanically, it won’t crack (good idea here in California with our quakes), well insulated and the pool can be moved or re-homed if needed. Installation can be outdoors or indoors, including in a basement or garage or on a hillside! Like most small pools there’s an insulated cover (which I creatively manage myself), and seats to indulge Jeramy and I together, when we aren’t exercising or dancing. Yes, dancing… in an upright posture as a couple. Lovely.
This pool has unique virtues developed through input from water therapy professionals. It is designed to the height, length, and reach of the human body, which translates to efficiency in energy usage, quantity of water required and the space needed for installation. The deep part of the basin is a 5’ 4” water level allowing suspended exercising and an adjustable height floor allows weight-bearing activities. I particularly like the overhead and underwater exercise bars for stability in a variety of movements.
The side of the pool is sturdy and easy to sit on, which is how I get in and, while I don’t use a lift, it is beneficial that a Hoyer lift can be used if needed for access/egress. The Swimhorse support frame, usable in any pool, lets me swim in place, or just meditate lying on my back, still fully immersed in the warmth of the water. Jeramy can help me with adjustments and equipment from the outside perimeter of the pool which is convenient for us both. We are both enthralled with The Vertical Pool as it supports our health, strength, relaxation and joy of living.
This pool was inspired by the anticipated need of returning wounded veterans who would then benefit from an aquatic rehab therapy DME device at home. This would provide heated, filtered, sanitized water at one’s preferred temperature for exercises in vertical (5’ 6” water depth), horizontal (8’ 10” water surface length), and seated (2) positions. Comprised of multiple light-weight parts, this pool can be carried into or through existing structures and installed almost anywhere including garages, back yards, basements, even hillsides. A footprint of only 6’ wide and 12 feet long (including the entry steps at the stern), and under 900 gallons, the pool is efficient in energy, water, and space. Overhead and underwater grab bars, access/egress capability with a Hoyer lift, a swim-in-place support frame (The Swimhorse), and “patient assistance from the outside perimeter of the pool” are some more of the virtues.
