Adapted services are for the exclusive use of disabled people and the organization.
Family members and companions can share the shaded area with the user, as long as they do not prevent the users of the point from having the necessary space and do not hinder the work of the support staff.
The number of baths and their duration will depend on the number of people waiting and the availability of the staff providing the service.
Disabled people who, using the amphibious chair to enter and exit the water, wish to abandon it and swim autonomously will sign a commitment assuming their responsibility and exempting the City Council and the company awarded the management of the service from the possible consequences.

We work towards continuous improvement and for this reason, we monitor the facilities and user service. That is why our work is loaded with empathy so that the communication is completely personalized and the user feels satisfied with the service we provide.
RELATIONSHIP WITH USERS

Support staff will transfer the user to the amphibious chair, remain in the water with them, and return them to the individual chair.
At all times the monitors will maintain respectful treatment of users.
A suggestion box is made available to the user.
The support staff will be informed of the day and time, as well as the number of people who will attend the point as a group. The company will reinforce staff if necessary.
