Swim England have provided an update to the minimum depth of water required for swimmers to dive into a swimming pool.
Following a review by Swim England and in light of a number of ‘near misses’ which involved swimmers diving into shallow water, the new guidance states the minimum depth for dive entries should be 1.35m. With specific reference to swimming, this is in line with FINA Regulations.
