I remember when I went swimming with school, many years ago, we were lined up along the length of the pool according to our ability so the stronger swimmers were in the deeper water where their feet didn't touch bottom.
I don't go swimming because the ripple effect on the water makes me go funny. It even happens in paddling pools. I get very dizzy and can even end up being quite ill.

Small children can drown in any depth of water, even the shallow end open by itself would still require a life guard anyway.
The shallow ends for mothers and babies mainly and for children to get used to the water. I think the pool at hyndburn sports centre is fine but I just use the gym one now anyway. Was meant to be going tonight but my boyfriends not come home from work
