Not sure what's going on, but several posts in a row have the same issue: you're asking a question that has only local answers on a national forum. Pool fashions vary from locale to locale!

I can tell that the trend is toward shallower pools, and away from pools with diving boards. I can also tell you that older teens often won't play in shallow pools without diving boards (though, they will have sex in them). I've seen large commercial pools lose their high school age 'customers', literally overnight, by removing diving boards.

Generally, though, having a pool like the others in your area is important if you are planning to sell and move after a few years, and don't expect to actually USE the pool much. But if you plan to stay and expect to use the pool, the question you should ask is, "What sort of pool would WE enjoy most?"

The forum is currently only minimally active. Your best bet, if you still need info is to use the Super Search page, to create special search links will allow you to search PoolForum. A phrase like "[]" may produce answers you're looking for.

Upgraded membership and moved thread to the Pool Construction section. You may need to log out and back in to see everything.

PS.You can search use Google to search multiple pool sites, using Google's 'advanced search operators" to limit your search to specific sites. This page of mine (http://pool9.net/ssearch/) will create the search links for you. Google knows my site -- and all the others -- much better than those sites internal search functions! And, if you need to post pictures -- of your pool, filter, pump, piping, what-not -- there are instructions on this page (http://pool9.net/postpix/)

Please note: the Super Search page does NOT search directly; it only CREATES special Google links, that enable a FOCUSED Google search!
