Hmm... no deep end, so the kids don't really ever have to learn to swim. Getting rid of the deep end and diving boards is ridiculous, but I REALLY like the gradual entry thing. It's just so much easier if you have a little one.

The gradual entry thing is interesting. I haven't been to a pool like that, but it sounds like a nice way to do pool design.
But... it should get plenty deep at the other end. It's just the right thing to do. Kids need to learn how to dive *headfirst* into deep water. They need to learn how to tread water.
But these shallow-water pools ignore one really important remaining liability: What about the really short kids? :-)

Get ready for Olympic Free-air High Diving (Imagine diving done much the same as 'air-guitar') much safer and uses less water.
