Hello, what would be the difference of swimming in a pool with 4 ft and 7" depth vs. the regular 6Ft 10". I have some experience with swimmimg and when I have try a shorter depth I felt like the swimmimg was a bit more easy, but I am not sure if this is fact. What would be the technical difference and the difference related to muscles etc.
I haven´t been doing any swimming for some time now and I want to go back to a pool. There is one near the house with that 4ft 72 depth, and another one with 6ft 1022, a bit far away, I need to decide
best regards
The reason is they want the pool deep to prevent turbulence. As stated before if the pool is shallow this turbulence can bounce off the bottom. The deeper the pool the less this will be a problem. The turbulence has much more space to diffuse in a deeper pool. FINA facility standards specify a minimum depth of 2 meters for Olympics and World Champs with 3 meters recommended.
