The obstacles in the menâs steeplechase are 914 millimetres (36.0 inches) high. In the womenâs steeplechase, the obstacles are 762 millimetres high (30.0 inches). The water jump consists of a barrier followed by a pit of water. The landing area for the pit of water is 3.66 metres (12.0 ft) by 0.70 metres (2.3 ft). At its deepest point, the slope goes down to a depth of 700mm (28 inches).
I never dive I used to do it in sea waves and even there once I bumped my head at the bottom a few times. For a shallow racing-type dive, a zero-freeboard pool should be at least 4 ft deep (and 6 ft would be better). So if you want to be able to dive in from any point along any edge of the pool, it would need to be 4-6 ft deep over its entire 'footprint'. For a vertical entry, significantly more depth is needed to reduce the risk of serious head/neck injury.
