Yesterday we had our local PB stop by and go over plans for building a vinyl IG. We are looking at a 16x38, 18x36, or 18x38. This whole time, I kept thinking I'd want a diving board with an 8ft deep end. I love swimming underwater and in deep water, so I know I want a deep pool. But the diving board...? Although I probably wouldn't use it, I thought it was a good idea because it clearly points out where in the pool it is safe to dive in from (this is the one of the most worrisome parts of owning an IG in my opinion). The PB pointed out that to add it in later would mean cutting up the concrete decking to install it. He told me that diving boards are going the way of the dinosaur and that some insurance companies won't cover them.
1) What have you heard about insurance and diving boards?
2) Do you find people still use them as a safer way to jump into the pool (or is this just my worrisome nature LOL)?
3) Do they look that bad when put in later?
4) Do you find people using the deep end of your pools?
Right now, it's just my husband and I, but one day, kids will be in the equation, as well as those at future pool parties.
