Why is the competition pool designed that way?

Who came up with that design…and why 1.8m?
Is there a difference when swimming in deeper water as compared to the teaching pool (usually of height 1.2m)? Besides looking at a ground closer to you, of course. Is it harder or easier to swim, or the same?
I haven’t swum in a 1.2m pool for some time so maybe i should try that out :D

I’ve swam competitively for 11 years, and I wasn’t aware of this measurement. Almost every single pool I’ve ever been in is about 4 ft in the shallow end and about 12 ft in the deep end.

As for swimming in different depths there isn’t really a noticeable difference. Technically, they say that a shallower pool should be more difficult to swim in because of the fact that the waves that you create bounce off of the bottom and come back up much quicker making the water rougher. In deeper water the displaced water/waves have a farther distance to go and dissipate before returning to the surface so the water is calmer. That’s the science of it, but in reality it doesn’t make any significant difference (to me, at least)
