I-Swim Mobile Pool Hoist for Flexible and Safe Pool Access

The I-Swim Pool Hoist is a thoughtfully engineered mobility solution created to make pool access smoother, safer, and more versatile for users and operators in leisure centres, wellness facilities, schools, hotels, hydrotherapy pools, and rehabilitation environments. Unlike traditional fixed hoists, which can limit how and where people enter the water, the I-Swim offers a mobile design that removes the need for permanent installation. This flexibility is invaluable for facilities looking to maximise poolside space, adapt to different layouts, or cater to diverse user needs without compromising safety or operational efficiency.

Its mobile chassis allows the hoist to be moved easily along the poolside and positioned exactly where it is required, allowing staff to select the safest and most convenient point of entry for each person. As a result, the I-Swim does not interrupt the pool’s aesthetic, does not restrict walkway space, and avoids the structural complexities of drilling or anchoring into the pool deck. This mobility opens up new possibilities for aquatic access, making the equipment suitable for shared spaces, multi-use pools, and facilities where permanent fixtures may not be desirable.

One of the core strengths of the I-Swim is its exceptional ease of use. The ergonomic push handle, positioned at a comfortable height, enables attendants to manoeuvre the hoist with minimal effort. Its smooth, steady movement ensures that operators can guide the device across different surfaces, while the four durable 100mm wheels—two of them equipped with high-quality brakes—provide stability and control when the hoist is parked or in motion. Once positioned at the pool edge, the I-Swim automatically activates its patented anti-tip stabilising system, a feature that gives attendants complete reassurance.

This system securely engages to ensure the hoist remains stable during the entire lifting and lowering sequence. By preventing tilting or shifting, it supports both user confidence and operator safety, helping to create a secure transition from poolside to water and back again. This design consideration is particularly useful in busy facilities or where multiple attendants may be responsible for operating the hoist, as it simplifies safe practice.

User comfort and dignity are central to the I-Swim’s design. The seat is crafted from durable moulded plastic, shaped into a smooth and secure tub style with integrated drainage holes that prevent water from collecting around the user once lifted from the pool. The adjustable footrest offers tailored lower-limb support, helping users feel stable and relaxed during the transfer. The hoist is fitted with a straightforward safety belt to secure the user comfortably without adding unnecessary complexity. Additionally, the lift-up armrests provide a practical solution for side-transfer situations, allowing users with different levels of mobility or those transferring from wheelchairs to move more easily onto the seat.

The open design facilitates safe, straightforward access, reducing physical strain for both user and attendant. This careful attention to user experience ensures that the I-Swim remains suitable for a wide range of individuals, offering comfort, practicality, and reassurance at every stage of the transfer.

The I-Swim is powered by sturdy onboard batteries, delivering reliable performance throughout the day. With enough power for approximately 50 lifting cycles per charge, the hoist is well-suited for both high-traffic public facilities and smaller venues where multiple users may require assistance. The hoist includes two 18A batteries, working in sequence to maintain strong lifting power throughout the operational period. Charging the device is achieved through a mains-connected transformer, which keeps the batteries in optimal condition and ensures straightforward daily upkeep for staff. The attendant control system, conveniently mounted directly on the push handle, is equipped with a clear LCD display that keeps operators informed of the current battery capacity. This simple yet valuable feature ensures that recharging can be planned efficiently, avoiding any interruptions during scheduled sessions or busy periods.

The straightforward up and down buttons provide intuitive control of the lifting movement, while the emergency stop function offers an immediate response option should an unexpected situation arise.

Engineered with strength and durability at the forefront, the I-Swim is built from a high-quality combination of aluminium and stainless steel, making it resistant to corrosion, pool chemicals, and humidity. This robust metal frame ensures that the hoist retains its structural integrity even within harsh aquatic environments. The polyester powder-coated finish adds an additional layer of protection while giving the equipment a clean, professional appearance that fits beautifully within modern pool facilities.

The hoist weighs 140kg, providing a sturdy base for lifting while still remaining manageable for attendants to manoeuvre. Its safe working load of 136kg ensures dependable support for a wide range of users, making it suitable for daily operations across leisure and rehabilitation settings. The 29mm floor clearance is an intelligently thought-out dimension that allows the hoist to move smoothly over most poolside surfaces without obstruction.

The lifting mechanism of the I-Swim operates using a parallelogram structure, a design chosen for its ability to offer a controlled and predictable lifting path. This geometry creates a smooth movement that avoids sudden shifts or tilting, ensuring both comfort and safety during the lift. Unlike some hoists that follow angled or arcing movements, the parallelogram system maintains a steady vertical path, which is especially beneficial for users with reduced mobility, limited balance, or movement anxieties. Attendants also benefit from this system, as it minimises the need for manual adjustments during transfer and reduces the physical strain often associated with pool entry operations.

The thoughtful placement of these controls on the push handle ensures that attendants can operate the hoist while maintaining optimal positioning and visibility of the user, contributing to overall safer management of pool access.

Combined with its two-year warranty, the I-Swim Pool Hoist is a strong investment for facilities committed to providing inclusive and enjoyable aquatic access.
