Sue Austin created an underwater wheelchair in 2012 as part of an art project, allowing her to move freely beneath the surface, and its agility was so impressive that even able bodied divers sometimes struggled to keep up with her underwater.

Our client, a Paralympic curler, reached out to Tetra as she needed a post to bracer herself when throwing stones down the ice.

Tetra volunteers from our Vernon chapter quickly stepped in. They bent aluminum tubing, clamped a supportive post to the frame of the wheelchair, and added a rubber grip at the top of the post. The post worked well and allowed the client to have stronger balance while curling.
