Step stools for pools and recreation centres
Swimming lessons, skating, day camps: children use your change rooms all week. A retractable step under one sink lets them wash on their own, in a room that is wet most of the day.
What we hear from sports & recreation
Wet floors, all day
A light stool slides on a wet floor and ends up stored away by staff.
Chlorine and humidity
Hardware and finishes have to hold up in a pool environment.
Peaks before and after activities
Classes start and end at the same time, and every child washes at once.
Where to install it
- Family change rooms at the pool
- Washrooms by the rink and the gym
- Washrooms used by day camps
- One sink per row, to start
Our recommendation
K01 The Klimbo
Around pools, we recommend the K01: aluminum, a 5 year warranty with the mechanism, and 316 stainless hardware on special order for chlorinated environments.

Montréal-Trudeau AirportQuestions from sports & recreation

The K01 is T6061 aluminum with a powder coat; for chlorinated environments, ask for the 316 stainless hardware on special order.

Step Stool Solutions for Sports Facilities
Sports facilities are high-traffic environments that serve families, youth athletes, and visitors throughout the day. This includes aquatic centers, sports centers, recreation centers, recreational facilities, and athletic facilities operated by municipalities, private organizations, and community groups. Restrooms in these settings must support accessibility while meeting strict requirements for safety, hygiene, durability, and ease of maintenance.
Providing safe access to sinks for children and people of smaller stature requires step solutions that perform reliably in shared, open-access public restrooms, without creating clutter, safety risks, or additional workload for staff.
In sports and recreation environments, step stools must be robust, intuitive to use, and suitable for unsupervised public use, while supporting consistent accessibility standards across multiple rooms and activity zones.
Accessibility and operational challenges in sports facilities
Sports and recreation facilities face specific operational constraints:
Continuous daily use by families, children, athletes, and staff
Peak usage before and after activities, training sessions, and events
High moisture exposure in aquatic centers and pool-adjacent restrooms
Frequent cleaning and maintenance requirements
Safety and liability concerns in open-access public spaces
Need for standardized solutions across large or multi-zone facilities
Loose or unstable step stools can shift, become misplaced, or create tripping hazards, making them poorly suited for sports facilities and recreational environments.
