I love my pool but can only use it in summrer. But I did progress and am now in a chair and can't get in myself. I always felt it did me good, but now have to eait until FH around. Not in as much as I was. We put a handrail down the steps, that helped for awhile but now really need DH to push,lift me into. Once in, there's much more freedom in the wateer for me. How'd you get in?
