Pool Therapy Research Paper

With an owner like one of Hollywood’s most stunning starlets and what was considered to be the world’s most beautiful woman for a point and time, you can only imagine that the Elizabeth Taylor Aquatic Center exudes the same amount of class and beauty she did. With a violet matted floor surrounding the exterior of the 7 ½ deep pool and therapeutic Jacuzzi and glass tiles along the white clean cut wall, the aquatic area of the therapy center resembles the sparkling violet colored eyes the movie star was known for.
