A fully accessible 25-metre swimming pool has opened in Lviv — a space where accessibility is not just a declaration, but a reality.

Its main feature is a special remote-controlled lift. People who use wheelchairs can get into the water and back out again independently.

Without outside help.

Without awkward requests.

Without barriers.

What has been implemented:

  • a ramp and fully accessible entrance have been installed;
  • showers, changing rooms and toilets have been renovated to meet the needs of people with reduced mobility;
  • separate rooms have been provided for wheelchair users.

The city allocated 8 million hryvnias in subsidies to create this space.

First and foremost, the pool will be used for the rehabilitation of veterans. At the same time, it is open to city residents and schoolchildren.

And this is fundamental.

Because accessibility is not ‘separate for someone.’

It is equal access for all.

Registration: 097 498 86 59 or at the reception desk of the complex.

For veterans and family members of fallen heroes: 099 43 63 465.
