on deck and gradually moving them to the “bathtub.” The instructor can then Show me how you get into the bathtub. gradually work the student to walking down all the steps until he/she is able to completely enter the pool. This can then lead into the next task of independent (walking down the stairs into the water . without the instructors support) entry thus a level of freedom reached by the student. Variations/Modifications If the student refuses to enter into the pool the instructor can put the student on a flotation device to get the student to enter the water. Note that this is used as a last resort and the instructor must work to remove the use of the device as soon as possible. If the student is a wheelchair user, the use of the lift to get the student into the pool may be used. A water chair may also be used for the student. This is a chair that can be set on the side of the pool in the water that allows the student to sit up right in the water with his/her legs and lower body submerged in the water.
