What is a zero-depth entry at an aquatic facility?

A zero-depth entry refers to an entryway at an aquatic facility that is designed to resemble a beach shoreline. This design allows individuals, especially children and those with mobility challenges, to gradually enter the water in a safe and gentle manner, as the water depth increases gradually. This kind of entry promotes inclusivity and eases the transition into the water, making it a popular feature in many public pools and aquatic parks. The shallow entry area encourages safe play and is ideal for families with young children. This design enhances the user experience by allowing for a more natural and comfortable entry into the water, as opposed to sharp drop-offs or ladders typically associated with traditional pool entries.
