I was corrected today at one of the public pools. The manager/supervisor said the pool is open, but you can't get in the water because there are no lifeguards on duty. To me, brain damage and all, the pool is closed to swimming or being in the water.

There is a certain time of day, about 2 hours on certain unannounced days, lifeguards (may) be available. To me the pool is closed for all practical purposes for lack of staff to open to the public and provide a safe swimming inviroment. Maybe I'm wrong in my thinking! lol!

Fred, here a disabled person is allowed into the pool as long as he/she has a supervisor or carer with them. No-one checks the qualification so my guess is that anyone else will do. You might go with your wife, a family memeber or an able bodied neighbour and see if this is sufficient to get you into the water.
