Just finished the gunite and after walking in the pool I am questioning how steep the steps are. My shallow is suppose to be 3.5' and the three steps are each 12'' high and 11'' deep. Walking up was pretty difficult for me and I'm worried my parents may not be able to get out at all. PB said 12'' was standard and I'd lose more swim room if I made more steps.
The spa is even worse. The footwell to the bench is 21'' and bench to top of gunite ledge is 21''. It is easy to get in by scooting but trying to get out is difficult. There is no way my parents would be able to get on their knees or pull up from a sitting position on the bench. Again PB said I'd lose room in the foot well.
Any thoughts or ideas? Does the water make you so much more buoyant it won't be an issue at all?
Also wondering if they make some sort of temporary step that I could use when less spry guest come over.
Thanks for all the help!
