When building a non-diving residential pool, has anyone considered marking the depths? I do not want it to be tacky, but the thought has crossed my mind that although my kids will know, they may have guests.
Has anyone marked the depth on a non-diving residential pool?

I think it is a VERY good idea! Alone with the NO DIVING pic to go with it. Hummmm how to do it and make it look good...............I know! Find someone that has one of those neat vinyl machines and ask them to make the numbers and symbol for you. I THINK it will stick to the decking.

After my pool was completed I looked at it and was wishing I had gotten the depth tile markers and integrated them into the tile line. Too late now but I think it is a good idea.
I thought about having the concrete stamped if possible, but I cannot decide. Maybe a prettier font somehow? Is that possible?

I think the stamped with be unreadable at some point. But lots of options out there.

That looks custom to me like they had the tile engraved then filled the engraving with a contrasting color. Nice look but I imagine expensive.

It’s not required by law for residential pools so is there some reason you want something like that? Honestly I think it would detract from the overall asthetics of the pool design. People rarely care what the pool depth is beyond shallow-end/deep-end and kids certainly don’t care. Putting up a depth marker is not going to deter any rambunction child from doing whatever it takes to find the most dangerous way possible to jump into a pool. Having three young boys myself, I speak from experience
