This is the second of a series of three photographs (PHIL 9096–9098), which revealed the interior of a large indoor publicly accessible swimming pool that provided an elegant ramped access into the pool, steps, and a transfer ledge that enclosed the pool at its edge. These images from the Center for Universal Design’s, Universal Exemplars, were captured in the Chou Silver Zone Complex, located in Akita Prefecture in Northern Japan. The pool allowed people the ability to make personal choices in how they entered, and exited the pool, according to their comfort, and safety levels. Taking physical impairments into account during the planning of this facility, only enhanced the enjoyment of all who visited this recreation area. In this particular image, a group of adults and children were frolicking about in, and around the pool, in the area where one was able to enter the pool via a ramp with its accompanying handrail.
