These are the steps going down into the 'shallow' end.
There will be a ladder going down into the deep end, which will be 6'. I didn't want it deep enough for diving because I want my pool to be an oasis of tranquility.

Philius tells me that no hotel is now allowed to build a pool deeper than 4' in case drunken tourists fall in and drown! Don't they know you can drown in 6" of water?
