| Depths of Swimming Pools |
|
| INGROUND DIVING POOLS: A "diving pool" is a pool with a deep end. The standard diving pool typically has a 3' 4" - 3' 6" shallow end that transitions into a deep end that is at least 8' - 8'6" in depth. The overall depth will depend on the length, width, and shape of the pool. As the name dictates, diving is allowed in a diving pool; most diving pools come equipped with diving boards. There are strict codes, specifications, and measurements to follow when constructing a diving pool. |
|
|
| INGROUND NON-DIVING POOLS: A "non-diving pool" is a pool without a deep (diving) end. The standard non-diving pool typically has a 3' 4" - 3' 6" shallow and the deepest point is typically 6' or less. Non-diving pools are often referred to as "sports pools". As the name dictates, there is no diving in a non-diving pool. |
|
|
| ABOVEGROUND POOLS: Aboveground Pools are typically 48" (4") - 52" (4' 4") in depth. Aboveground pools can be built with 72" (6') deep ends. Regardless, there is no diving allowed in an aboveground pool. |
