Can an AGP return jet be too close to a ladder?

Drawing up deck / patio plans for my 18 ft AGP. We're replacing the a-frame ladder with a generic deck-mount resin one. Not big steps, just what I would call a basic normal ladder.

Where we want to put the ladder is immediately next to the return jet eyeball. Other than physically blocking the jet with the ladder leg, is there much to concern myself over here? Can it end up too close?

No, you should be fine.

My return is about 18” from the ladder in the same position and configuration as your drawing. There are no circulation problems.

I used to have my return about 5 feet from my stairs. Now it is about 15. When it was closer my stairs required a lot less cleaning / brushing. I think it was because of both the stronger circulation and the increased chlorine from the SWCG in the return water flow. When the return was close to the stairs, I rarely had to pull them away and brush under them.
