B. The minimum clearance area in front of a diving board is a minimum distance of
three feet six inches (3’-6”) on either side of the board’s centerline. Pt.C extends
a minimum distance of “C” from the tip end of the board. The width distance “W”
on either side of Pt.C is given in CHART 1 and shown in Figure 28.

C. The minimum clearance area of a slide or diving board shall not intersect any
coping or rope and float line. (See Figure29) The minimum clearance area of a
slide or diving board may intersect each other provided that they are not used
simultaneously.
