Case Study
A New Pool Lift for The Swim Centre
We’re excited to share the success story of Likeafish Swim School based in South Wales who have recently installed the all-new Nebula hoist to improve accessibility for their above-ground swimming pool.
The Challenge
Likeafish Swim School prides itself on offering inclusive swimming lessons for all ages and abilities. However, when it came to providing safe access for swimmers with limited mobility, their pool presented meaningful challenges. The raised pool wall combined with limited surrounding space meant that many standard hoists on the market simply weren’t suitable. Accessibility is a growing priority for private swim schools across the UK, and Likeafish wanted a solution that not only met safety standards but also offered ease of use for staff and comfort for their clients.
The Solution
With the release of Aqua Creek’s Neptune and Nebula hoists, Likeafish Swim School found the perfect answer. The Nebula’s space-saving profile and adaptable design made it an ideal choice for their unique setup. Unlike some bulkier models on the market, the Nebula is engineered to work seamlessly in tighter spaces and to accommodate the extra height of above-ground pools. By choosing this innovative system, Likeafish Swim School can now ensure that swimmers of all abilities have equal access to their facilities.
