Abstract
A system helps a disabled person more fully utilize a swimming pool by transporting the person over the pool water and lowering the person toward the water for entry thereinto. The device uses a base that has a lift platform that is capable of being raised and lowered as well as rotated. The base is at least partially submerged within the pool and has a stairway abutting it. Three separate platforms extend outwardly from the base and rest on the pool deck. Each platform has a rail system thereon which is traversable by a chair that rides on the rail systems. Transition between out rail and another is accomplished at the lift platform which operates similar to a railway roundhouse turntable.
