Scramble to the top and drop down with a splash. Made from fiberglass finished with a non-slip surface, AquaClimb climbing walls are a novel addition to public and residential swimming pools.
A modular system of 3′ x 3′ (1 x 1 m) fiberglass panels allows walls to be configured to fit any pool width and height. The panels include rock features, inset and protruding handholds, which can be moved around to vary climbing difficulty. Although the default color scheme is aqua (blues and greens), custom colors are available to match a pool’s surroundings.
Prices start at $10,490 USD and average delivery time is four to six weeks, with demand obviously peaking during the summer months. Customers include public swimming pools, summer camps, residential pools, schools, recreation centers and water parks.
AquaClimb is manufactured by Pyramide USA Inc., a leading sport climbing wall provider based in Virginia. The company currently only has international dealers in Australia and Western Canada, and welcomes dealer inquiries.

The AquaClimb design team collaborated with the Aquatics Safety Research Group to create a safe product. The majority of injuries with pool equipment actually occurs before the users even enter the water. Climbing up ladders and falling onto concrete, etc. Because the swimmers start using the activity in the water, this hazard alone is eliminated. The AquaClimb also promotes a feet first entry and exit from the water. The AquaClimb has already been approved by state health departments. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any concerns about the safety of the AquaClimb. Thanks!
