Question: I would just like to enquire about some wheelchairs specific to an aquatic environment. We run four aquatic centers in the area and would like to purchase some plastic wheel access chairs specific to swimming pools. ~David

Answer: I believe you are referring to amphibious wheelchairs. Many of these non-corrosive aquatic wheelchairs such as the Steel Wheel Aquatic Chair by Interior Mediquip Limited or Forward Motion's Sand-Rik can be used at the pool or beach. Check out an informative article on the ABLEDATA website concerning amphibious wheelchairs at www.abledata.com/Site_2/aquatic.htm. ABLEDATA is sponsored by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, and provides information on assistive technology and rehabilitation equipment available within the United States.
