Remodeled Ability360 Aquatic Center Reopens
The Ability360 Sports & fitness Center Aquatic Center’s three fully renovated adaptive pools officially reopened Feb. 28. The 40-day remodeling project was funded by a $100,000 Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation Ken Kendrick Grand Slam Award.
The first 100 people in attendance received Arizona Diamondbacks pool and goody bags. Refreshments were available, and children and families participated in celebratory games.
Renovation of the Lap Pool, Therapy Pool and Spa began Dec. 2. The pools are used by disabled and able-bodied individuals, and are supervised by certified and trained Ability360 staff members.
The Lap Pool features an elevator lift, hydraulic lift and transfer station for entry. Pool depth ranges from 4 feet 6 inches to 10 feet, with the deep end suitable for scuba diving. The pool is heated between 80 and 84 degrees.
The Therapy Pool also features elevator and hydraulic lifts and transfer access, and is heated between 88 and 92 degrees.
The Spa, with hydraulic lift and transfer access, is 3 feet deep and heated to a maximum of 102 degrees.
