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.
