The pool is very large, and I don't say that to boast. My kids were all swimmers and water polo players, but they seldom ever used OUR pool. By the end of the day they'd had enough water I guess
The deep end is 11 feet, and it remains deep for over half of the pool's length. The prior owner who put it in said he never wanted one of his kids to hit their head on the bottom. The pool also has a big footprint. I just wasn't smart enough 14 years ago to realize the carrying cost of such a pool. That is why I want to rebuild it one day. We'll see if Kalifornia and I last that long...
