As a follow up my PB told me it's the water depth so that's good.

When they give you a depth (i.e 3.5) is that the amount of WATER or the SIZE OF THE WALL? Or does it vary by builder? What exactly is the 3.5?

Thanks. So 3 1/2 was too shallow for flip turns or why do you like 4 better? How deep is yours in the middle and what should I consider about that? Thanks again! Is 4.2 4.6 or 5 better or does it matter that much. If I go 5 it will add a few hundred dollars. Don't know if it's worth it or if it's TOTALLY worth it. Again, it's basically for laps but it's fun sometimes just to dip down! Thoughts?

Good to know that it won't be much more if I want to add depth....I am getting an autocover too which should be great. Solar as well but only 92% coverage to save on costs for now.....cover should help with heat. do you have salt? They tried to talk me out of that but I really wanted it!

It's so funny - some peole CAN do a flip turn and some can't. It's probably not a huge deal on one end even if I can't as long as I can maybe do it on the other end. I'm only 5' 3" so I probably can I will have autofill. Even though I won't sell my house for a long time do you have any opinion on resale value? Do you see any "cons" for only having it 4.2 feet in the middle? Or anything else I'm not thinking about? Thank you!!!

I am getting a 50 x 12 lap pool. The designer wants to go 3.9 on each end and 4.17 in the middle (weird but we've been negotiating costs so maybe that's saving some $$). Originally he was going to go 3.5 on one end, 4.6 in the middle and 4 on the other end. It will be used to swim laps only really (no kids) but it just seems a little shallow in the middle. Not that 6 more inches makes a huge difference but wanted to know what you all thought - expecially those with experience with varying depths. THANK YOU!. I am trying to decide by this weekend so ANY thought would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks! If you'd rather email me directly I am at bell@arizona.edu
