IPU Swim Island XLSPI45 Ultra-Wide Teaching Platform | Industrial Aquatic Safety Station
The IPU Swim Island XLSPI45 represents the largest footprint in the IPU poolside series, engineered specifically for high-occupancy aquatic centers and specialized physical therapy clinics. In environments where standard platforms lack the surface area for complex movements or multiple participants, the XLSPI45 provides a expansive, stable floor that effectively lowers the water depth, reducing student anxiety and allowing instructors to manage larger groups with greater control.
Fabricated from industrial-grade, UV-protected PVC, this platform is designed to survive the rigors of heavy daily use in chemically treated environments. The open-frame design ensures optimal water flow to prevent the unit from becoming buoyant, while the reinforced deck supports significant weight, making it a reliable tool for both pediatric swim lessons and adult bariatric rehabilitation.
Key Benefits
- Maximum Surface Area: The ultra-wide 48" x 49" deck provides ample room for lateral movement, group drills, and side-by-side therapy sessions.
- Corrosion-Proof Construction: Built with healthcare-grade PVC and stainless steel hardware that will never rust or pit, even in saltwater pool systems.
- Enhanced Professional Presence: Elevates the instructor to a height that allows for better vocal projection and visual demonstration across a busy pool.
- Tactile Safety Grating: The non-slip platform surface provides superior grip for wet feet, reducing the risk of slips during entry and exit.
- Dual-Height Versatility: Adjustable height settings (18" or 26") allow the facility to adapt the platform to different age groups and varied pool depths.
- Hygienic Material Design: The non-porous frame is resistant to bacterial buildup and is easily scrubbed to maintain strict facility hygiene standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
Is the IPU XLSPI45 safe for use in vinyl liner or fiberglass pools without causing scratches or tears?
The IPU XLSPI40 series is designed with non-marring, smooth-surface feet that ensure it is completely safe for vinyl liner, fiberglass, and tiled residential pools. Because the frame is constructed from rounded, high-impact PVC, there are no sharp metal edges that could snag or puncture your pool's delicate interior. This "liner-friendly" engineering allows you to place the platform exactly where itās needed most without worrying about long-term structural damage or unsightly scuff marks. Many homeowners appreciate that it provides a professional-grade safety zone while maintaining the pristine condition and resale value of their homeās aquatic features. It is a protective, high-authority solution for families who prioritize both safety and property maintenance.
-
How does this platform stay stationary on the pool floor without being permanently bolted down?
This teaching platform utilizes an internally weighted design and "flow-through" frame to ensure it stays firmly anchored to the pool floor without floating or drifting. Unlike lighter plastic alternatives that require manual filling with sand or water, this unit is engineered to remain submerged and stationary under its own structural weight. The non-slip feet provide additional grip against the pool surface, creating a rock-solid "island" for therapy or swim instruction. This level of stability is crucial for building confidence in beginner swimmers and ensuring safety for those with mobility challenges. You can trust that the platform will not shift even during high-impact aquatic exercises or active play.
-
What is the total load capacity for this extra-large platform, and can it support an adult and child simultaneously?
The IPU XLSPI45 features an impressive load capacity designed to easily support the weight of multiple children or a therapist and patient together. Its extra-large 35" x 51" surface area is reinforced to prevent flexing, providing a stable foundation for hands-on swim coaching or bariatric aquatic rehabilitation. This heavy-duty rating makes it a versatile tool for "mommy and me" sessions or helping seniors regain their balance in a low-impact environment. By offering such a generous weight limit, the platform ensures that the user feels secure and supported at all times. This industrial-strength performance is wrapped in a home-friendly design that meets the rigorous demands of institutional safety.
-
How does the durability of this healthcare-grade PVC compare to standard plastic pool steps or furniture?
Constructed from UV-stabilized, healthcare-grade PVC, this platform offers a far superior lifespan compared to standard residential pool steps or consumer-grade plastic. The material is specifically formulated to resist the corrosive effects of high chlorine levels and saltwater systems, ensuring it won't become brittle or yellow over time. You are investing in a "buy-it-once" piece of equipment that retains its structural integrity through years of constant submersion and sun exposure. This high-quality construction provides a much better return on investment (ROI) than cheaper alternatives that require frequent replacement due to chemical cracking. It is a durable, professional-grade asset that serves as a permanent fixture in your family's safety toolkit.
-
Can the platform height be adjusted to accommodate different pool depths or growing children?
Yes, the platform height can be customized using modular links or leg extensions to perfectly match the specific depth of your pool's shallow end. This adaptability is vital for creating a "safe zone" that is at the correct ergonomic height for a child to stand comfortably with their head above water. As your children grow or your therapy needs change, the platform can be reconfigured to remain a functional part of your aquatic routine. The easy-to-use adjustment pins allow you to make these changes in minutes without the need for specialized tools or a professional contractor. This "future-proof" scalability ensures that the equipment remains a valuable safety resource for your home for a decade or more.
