How Deep is the pool they swim in for the Olympics?
We were talking about how our "Y' pool is 3 ft in the shallow and 7.9 in the deep and how it great going from shallow to deep but coming back make you work really hard. Some days I feel like I"m crawling...it can be a bummer. I just keep telling my self it's okay maybe working harder will help me go faster in a better pool.
So then the Olympic pool depth come into question, I can find width and length, not depth.
In the FINA Rule Book, there will be Facility specifications.

Check "FR 3" FINA Facilities Rules - miniumum depth of 2.0 meters.

The IU Natatorium is 9' on the ends and 10' in the middle, for a specific example.
