How deep is the pool at POR?

Can someone plese tell me how deep the main pool at POR is?

I don't remember how deep the deepest part of the pool was but I do remember that it is a zero entry pool meaning that it slopes in like a shore line.

Hi there,

I don't remember exactly how deep the pool was (but I remember that it wasn't that deep for me at 5'6") Here's the information on the pool from www.allears.net

The main themed swimming area, Ol' Man Island, is centrally located between the bayou section and the mansions. The Island is home to a large pool, a spa (holds around 8-people), a kiddie pool (up to 36" deep), a wading pool and a short but fun water slide. The pools and water slide are open all day (usually 9 a.m. to around 10 p.m.) and lifeguards are normally on duty during most pool hours. As of spring 2003, the island now has a geyser at the main pool that shoots water through a pile of rocks and debris, adding to the theme. We're told that the "old man" was so upset with the geyser spouting off that he tried to block its eruptions with the debris we can now see. Fortunately for all of us, his efforts failed and a wonderful spray of water has been produced. Handrails and ramps have recently been created to aid wheelchair visitors.

Hope this helps!

ol man island is the zero entry and the depth is over 5 feet under the water trough area, it varies, it is much less where the slide pours into the pool. The quiet pools are also over 4' as well. They did not have zero entry.
Hope this helped, perhaps someone else can be MORE specific for you.

I'm like 99% certain that there is no zero entry at POR... I just checked my photos and although I don't have all of the pool, I am pretty sure there is no zero entry.... if there was one my kids did not see it?? How would that be possible? Anyway, can anyone clarify...

Thanks!

It's not a zero entry pool. There are stairs to enter the pool. I'm pretty sure that the deepest part is over 5 feet, but less than 6 feet.

The maximum depth of the main pool on Ol' Man Island is 5 ft (1.5m). It is not zero-entry, but it does have a nice wide stepped entrance area which leads into the shallowest (3ft) section of the pool.
