if all goes well I will be moving to a new house at the end of
january and it comes with a pool. my wife is wheelchair bound and I
wonder if there is a device that hooks on to the pool that she could
slide out of her chair on to this seat or something then it would
swing around and gently lower her in to the pool? I have back
trouble so I can't be picking her up but I want her to enjoy the pool
too if possible.

Tandy, there is a device called a Lifeguard pool\spa lift. I have one
that I use with my spa. I purchased it through the dealer that sold me
my spa. You might check with a pool or spa dealer, or if they can't
help you, talk with someone in a physical therapy department at a rehab
center or a hospital. They could possibly assist you in finding such a
device.

More seriously, your looking for a Hoyer style device. They come in manual and powered versions, mobile and fixed mounting point. The seat on these things is usually a piece of fabric which folds into a basket-like shape. It is important to get a mesh seat if you will be using it in a pool. You might also look for one with a removeable, mobile base. That way you can use it in the house, or remove the base, place it in a socket by the pool and use it there. greg

You can get their catalog for free by calling 800-634-4351. There are a lot of interesting and useful items in there that would be of great assistance to quads and paras. There is a whole line of specialized fishing gear that I had never even heard of! What caught my fancy was the water sking equipment for quads. -Warren- -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!275!429.0!Warren.King Internet: Warren.King@p0.f429.n275.z1.fidonet.org
