Question

How deep is an olympic water polo pool?

Answer 1

It varies.  It doesn't really matter as long as it's at least 7 feet deep.  As long as nobody can stand on the it's fine.

Answer 2

I want to say that it is 10 feet deep but I do not know for sure.  

Answer 3

They mentioned the other day in a game that under normal conditions the pool is around 8 1/2 feet. The pool used in the Olympics is 10 ft. You are not aloud to touch the bottom and push off.

Answer 4

1.8 meters is the official minimum depth for international competitions, but a minimum of 2 meters is strongly recommended.  Most made-for-waterpolo pools are even deeper.  Players are not allowed to stand on or push-off-from the bottom.
