Several wheelchair users have taken their first dips in the ocean at Adelaide's Henley Beach where a special, accessible mat was rolled out to the water's edge.
The mats are used regularly at Seacliff and about 10 other patrolled beaches across Australia, but organisers hope they will become a regular sight around the country.
Shane Hryhorec, from Accessible Beaches Australia, said it was a relatively simple idea that could make a big difference to people's lives.
"The mat just rolls out and it becomes a pathway for people to take their own chair down to the water, and then
there's also products like beach wheelchairs ... so you can head out into the water and have a swim," he said.

The empathy intrinsic in those pathways are in stark contrast to the feelings of the pathways of the Alt-Right.
