Hello there. Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer my pool question. The gunnite is shot in my pool and my bottom pool riser is 16 inches from the floor of the pool to the first step. According to local code, the bottom riser doesn't have a maximum height while all the other stairs maximum is 12 inches. The contractor is saying they did what they were supposed to but I can't find anything online with someone that has a 16 inch final step into the pool. We are able bodied people in our 40's with young children (that can climb up anything) but are concerned when our parents and grandparents come use our pool that they will struggle. The contractor is telling me that we will be more buoyant coming out of the water with our legs fully submerged, which I understand but wanted a professional opinion.
Can you help? They came to us today and said for another $1k they can split the bottom riser in half to create two 8 inch steps.
Thank you so much in advance.
