Kelly,
I think my pics must be deceiving. When we talked with out PB designer, we specifically wanted a diving pool with volleyball/play area. The length of the shallow end is 27.6 feet long. The whole of the shallow is not 4' but just the volleyball area. It does go to 5 feet before the floor break. The volleyball area is actually slanted, with the net going cady corner across. Clear as mud?
I am not sure of the pool lingo and breakouts but I will try to answer your questions. You got me worried, as I did want a diving pool, not a jumping in feet first pool. You had me worried so I got my DH and we went out and measured with a string going across and tape measure going down.
8 feet forward from the wall, it is 8.6 feet deep. at 19 feet, it is 7.6 and at 22' forward of the wall, it is 6.6 (from floor to midway up the waterline tile) Is this sufficient? If not, my PB is in serious trouble.
