I swim at the Northfield Senior Center. The Northfield Senior Center has a chair lift to get me in and out of the pool. The chair is made for a 350-pound person. It isn’t very comfortable. It has 1 strap that “barely” holds my waist in. One of my PCA’s, JoAnne, works at Northfield Hospital and Northfield Hospital allowed her to take a gait belt and we put that across my chest the first year we used it. There is 2 arm rests that I wrap my arms around to keep myself stable. Now I just wrap my arms around the arm rests and my P. C. A., Lesile, runs the lift. I don’t need the gait belt.
