I have an existing vinyl pool that a family member has trouble entering and exiting. She has limited mobility in her legs due to obesity and fluid retention. Even with a handrail for support the stairs are too high for her to bend her legs and navigate. A ramp might work but the online prices seem to be thousands of dollars. Thoughts? She is an infrequent guest so I have to weigh the investment/usage. THANK YOU!
Handicap ramp?

Not sure how deep your wallet is but motel pools and spas have a "lift" for cases like this. BUT the $$$$ is a lot for them 
Could she sit on her bottom and scoot backwards up the steps so she is not trying to lift her legs?

Amazon has lifts like that but Kim is right, they're pricey. Since she's an infrequent visitor, it's probably not cost-effective to invest in one.
I second scooting up and down the steps.
