KIROLA v. THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO

3. Swimming Pools

150. Kirola routinely swims at Hamilton Pool and Martin Luther King Jr ("MLK") Pool, which were previously renovated and made accessible. RT 1392:17-1393:23.

151. Hamilton Pool is the closest pool to her home. RT 1393:2-3. Kirola's only complaint regarding that pool is that she cannot use the children's slide because it lacks a lift. RT 1392:17-1393:23. She acknowledged, however, that the slide at Hamilton Pool is intended for children and was unaware whether adults are allowed to use it. RT 1387:16-18.

152. MLK Pool is her "favorite pool." RT 1393:1-3, 1392:17-19. Travelling to MLK Pool takes a "long time" on public transit, but is "not hard to get to." RT 1392:19-21.

153. Kirola found Sava Pool to be accessible, but encountered a cracked sidewalk near the facility on 19th Street. RT 1386:22-1387:13.

154. Kirola testified to experiencing accessibility issues at Balboa Pool, Garfield Pool and Rossi Pool. These pools are classified as "limited access," as opposed to accessible. DTX F16.

155. At Balboa Pool, Kirola encountered a steep entrance ramp and an inadequate locker room. RT 1388:5-6. She likewise found insufficient clearances in the locker room and restrooms at Garfield Pool. RT 1388:7-17. As for Rossi Pool, Kirola claims that she was deterred from visiting that facility after being informed that it was inaccessible. RT 1386:15-19.

156. Kimbrough testified that the ramp at Balboa Pool is too steep for her daughter to use, and as a result, she cannot watch her sister take swimming lessons or access the pool. RT 838:12-839:19. Although Coffman Pool is only a mile further away than Balboa Pool, Kimbrough prefers not to go there because her eldest daughter's swimming instructor teaches at Balboa Pool, and she feels that Coffman Pool is not located in a safe neighborhood. RT 849:10-17, 852:19-853:2.

157. Monasterio testified that the closest pool to her is Garfield Pool but that "there's not a safe space for her to sit and shower." RT 1233:18-24. Although she believed that Garfield is designated as accessible, it is not. See RT 1234:10-12; DTX F16.

158. Cherry testified that she attempted to take a swimming class at MLK Pool but that she had been forced to discontinue the class as a result of the lift being consistently broken for an entire month. RT 1043:15-1045:19.
