3. SLIDE PLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATIONS ON POOLS WITH OTHER SLIDES
AND/OR DIVING BOARDS
A. The minimum clearance area in front of a properly installed diving board on an inground
swimming pool is a minimum distance of three feet six inches (3’-6”) on either side of the board’s
centerline as shown in Figure 17. Pt. C extends a minimum distance of “C” from the tip end of the
board as shown in Figure 17. The width distance “W” on either side of Pt. C is given in CHART 1
and shown in Figure 17.
“C”
DIMENSION FOR BOARD
= AB + BC
“W”
DIMENSION FOR BOARD
= WIDTH AT PT.C
B. The minimum clearance area of a slide or diving board shall not intersect any coping or rope and
float line as shown in Figure 18. The minimum clearance area of a slide or diving board may
intersect each other provided that they are not used simultaneously.
