It is so important that students feel comfortable and safe when learning. We like our pools to be at least 90 degrees. Ideally, students have access to both shallow and deep water in the same place. The very best pools in which to learn are those where a person is able to touch their hands on the floor in one area of the pool, and unable to touch the bottom at all in another area, to learn how it all works. Warm deep pools are very difficult to find in the Seattle area, so we are very grateful for the ones we have!
