Paraplegic man sues City of San Diego in Federal Court for lack of access to La Jolla Children's Pool
Thank the Good Lord that access may be given back to the Disabled and to the Children just as Miss Ellen Scripps wanted. She said she was building the concrete human ocean swimming pool for "Children and for Those Handicapped in Life's Game", A beautifully designed ocean swimming pool w/4 sluiceways in to keep it clean, I hope they will reopen those too. Took 10 years to build and much care and precision was involved & has withstood the last 80 years. City of S.D. promised in writing to maintain this treasure as a Children's Bathing Pool and Playground.& never did, 80 years later it is crumbling. There is no other ocean pool like it in the Cont.US,.When legs do not work it is difficult to impossible to go through surf to open water on any other ocean beach in S.D. for ex. La Jolla Shores. C.P was designed to be calm. In 2005 :of the Superior Court, ordered S.D. to clean this pool, remove the filthy polluted bacteria ridden smelly sand and open the sluiceways. Very do-able.Studies completed: Safe for the seals. The ramp open for 65+YRS. One of the first , RAMPS to the ocean ever. This RAMP at the Children's Pool is the Grandfather of all Beach disability ramps prior to creation of ADA slopes. Be a destination point for disabled swimmers & wounded warriors coming home with out body parts, they too deserve to enjoy the real ocean again. The seals would still be there folks, the wall should be restored. People could stroll the wall, and look to the left and see seals on the reef and at the natural adjoining S. Casa Beach, and look to the right and see the wonderment of crippled children snorkeling in the restored pool, looking at a Garibaldi (being devoured by the over population of seals) and a sea-star ( almost none left in this area;seals ate most of the mussel population. This would create balance and give to our disabled & senior citizens & kids the chance to swim in safety & still enjoy the cute seals, in their own natural environment on beaches where the surf washes them clean, and on Seal Rock where the rip tide is not safe for humans and so is safe for seals. I spoke with a man who witnessed a drowning the last time the Children's Pool closed for Seal Politics, the tired swimmer tried to exit the ocean at Shell Beach and got caught in the rip:lifeguard was unable to safe him. He explained the man died as a result of the closure of the only safe harbor on the La Jolla Coastline. Children's Pool . This is a place for human swimmers, and a few seals too! They are cute and fun and I love them. Thank you for you time to read this from a disabled swimmer. S.D.is planning on upgrading the restrooms and showers for the C.P. Please support ADA access, and re-opening the current gate blocking it so wheelchair swimmers are allowed to swim to need that ADA shower they are installing.... Makes sense, yes? Thank you. from a Disabled Mermaid http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/jun/2…— June 26, 2013 4:23 p.m.
