I'm not quite sure of the exact scientific method, but if the pool is to shallow than it would be a problem, because you could kick the bottom of the pool. I always find it easier to swim in water around 1.5m deep, because if its too deep it makes me work harder, because i want to stay afloat.

∙ 15y agoI would believe so. I don't have the exact science of it, but I did hear the Olympic announcers say that the depth does matter. For example, sometimes you can watch Michael Phelps dive and swim deeper on his initial jump in and on turns. By going deeper, he is able to come to the surface farther ahead by avoiding the drag that the other swimmers create. Essentially, he's able to swim beneath the chaos and come out the other side.

Why is a swimming pool called a swimming pool?
because its a pool you swim in. As opposed to a wading or play pool that is very shallow and does not permit swimming because of lack of depth. To be a swimming pool it must have sufficient depth to be able to swim in. For most people that requires a minimum depth of 3 feet.

Which is bigger a wadding pool or a swimming pool?
All of the wading pools I have ever seen in over 20 years in the swimming pool business are very small compared to swimming pools. A wading pool is typically for small children. In general the pools are one foot or less in depth and anywhere from 6 feet to 10 feet circular or in a square. You cannot swim in a normal wading pool. A swimming pool generally starts at 2 and 1/2 feet to 3 feet in depth and goes to 6 feet or 8 feet. You can swim in a swimming pool because you have enough depth of the water to do so.
