    Concrete steps/blocks
    We have a inground pool but the steps are too high or far apart for me to use. I am 83 yrs old and would love to use the pool but am afraid to get out as I can't step high enough to get out. I can only swim when I have someone strong to pull me the last two steps.
    My question? Is there someway to fix the steps without draining the pool. We are on a fixed income and really can't afford to drain pool and have someone repair the steps. Is there some temporary fix we can do. Thank you

    Adding a hand rail might help, but still may need to partially drain to attach bottom of hand rail,but would be cheaper than reconfiguring steps. Hope this helped.
