A question: we're moving to Phoenix and will build a pool in the backyard. What is the required pool depth needed to execute a flip turn? The builder says 3' 6" is fine; one web site I found refers to this depth, anothers implies 4 feet are needed. What do you think?
Also -- the pool length is 40 feet -- not much by Olympic standards -- but do you think this is fine if you just plan to do a bunch of flip turns? (and have the depth to do them in!).
Thanks :)

Have you considered an inground Endless Pool (or partially inground). I have no idea what an inground pool costs to construct but this may be an option for you. You can swim for miles and never turn. The thing is you can swim for miles in one direction. This all depends on what you want in your pool. It can be up to 6 feet deep. Mine is 4 feet and above ground. The max width is 9 feet and max length is 16 feet (inside measurements) . This is plenty of room to swim in.
