It looks to me (I haven't seen it) as though the zero entry side of the pool stays very shallow for quite a long way. It would probably be a good area for small children as well as the disabled or others who need a little help getting into the water.
That's all just a guess, but it definitely makes sense inside my head!
Hi,
Had a look round yesterday and all I can remember was the High Rock Spring pool (Zero entry) and the Donald wet play area with jet fountains. There was also two whirlpool spas.
I looked at various sides of the pool. ALL 3ft and some inches.
where the slides are that is acceptable but everywhere?
I thought it was unusual. I asked someone at the other pool why the main was so shallow and she said, "Good question! I don't know"
I think I found the answer about the 3 foot in a slide show link in a thread by mickg7dyd. Here is a link to a picture take at the pool showing 1,5 meter/5 feet markings on the edge of the pool.
It is very possible it gets deeper in the middle of the pool. Some are built were they are only 3 feet deep at the edge and get deeper toward the center of the pool. The orginial pool at the Grand Floridian is that way.
