True sign I saw at the edge of a wave pool in a water park near Charleston, South Carolina--"0 FT 0 IN NO DIVING".

This no-deep-end thing is getting ridiculous. Most motel and apartment swimming pools nowadays are barely bigger than hot tubs and only four to five feet deep. I love the older-style concrete motel pools with 8- or 9-foot deep ends, the kinds with the rough bottoms. Nothing like swimming in one of those at night, lit up all nice and green, to relax you at the end of a long trip.

Oh, and as for shallow oceans, aren't more and more beaches putting in lines of "don't swim past here" floats to keep people in 4 or 5 feet of water there as well?

It's common to see a "No Diving" warning, posted next to hot tubs in hotel work out areas,I expect it's only a matter of time,before they will be posted next to the hotel bathtubs!

If you swim in a shallow pool you risk hitting your feet on the bottom and injuring yourself. The obvious solution is a water sprinkler, they are much safer and pose lower risk of water. Remember what my statistics teacher taught: most people drown in rivers an average depth of only 4 inches. (sarcasm button stuck)
