Re: Can adults swim comfortably in 36" or less depth of water in a 42" deep pool? Just to clarify, I agree totally with Richard, but if you fill a very small 42" deep AG frame pool to a 36" water level I'm confident a LOT of water will slosh out onto the deck each time you swim - so the pool...

Re: Can adults swim comfortably in 36" or less depth of water in a 42" deep pool? Hi Narnia We kind of had the opposite problem - we wanted a very shallow pool for the kids but this limited us to a 12' diameter. Our pool is just 32" deep to the top, perfect depth for our toddlers but not so...
