Our local Y is planning on renovating the indoor pool in May. Right now the pool is 12 feet deep. Rumor has it that the plans are to make it only 5 feet at the deepest! My question is, "what is the minimum depth the pool should be to make starts from the block safe?"

Also, many diving accidents by teenagers and children occur with just a 1 meter springboard. Probably, another reason that someone that is playing on a diving board should not do that. I probably shouldn't complain about having to use a ladder. But I think most accidents that are cause by diving in pools are mainly children doing things like cannon balls in swallow water that the pool signs state you should not do and playing on the diving boards. But maybe someone of the people hear are right that 6 feet to 8 feet around will prevent beginning swimmers and children doing cannon balls from having diving injuries.i
