The design and installation of the swimming and hydrotherapy pools for Special Education Needs schools require specific, detailed design considerations to maximise the therapeutic benefits. Disabled access and usability are key throughout; the Pools incorporate faster filtration cycles to ensure cleanliness and higher water temperatures to introduce hydrotherapeutic benefits.

Overhead and poolside hoists with mobile location points and handrail access are incorporated into the designs. The pools are finished in
white tiles with high visibility dark demarcations to indicate water level changes, entry and exit points. Specialist sensory audio and lighting maximise the benefits of the installation.
