In Illinois you find 10 foot public outdoor and indoor pools all over. I am simply amazed...like there are no qualified folks to be life guards here to allow 10 foot pools. Since I love to swim, this is the biggest negative about Phoenix I've found so far.

And swimming in a 4-1/2 foot pool or 5 foot pool is a totally different feel than swimming in a deeper pool. As for water jogging, which I used to do all the time in Illinois, you can forget it in a shallow pool like is here unless you're into scraping your feet on the pool bottom which hurts. I am so disappointed in Arizona pools....
Wow, I have to leave this forum. This is only the 2nd post from you that I've read and you sound like a straight up retard!
The pool in my back yard is 10 ft deep. Clay too hard.

Wow. I think you are a bit harsh and isn't name calling against the TOS?

There were things I missed about CA when I came here and still do. I just know we can't possibly grow another Napa anywere in this desert. Moving is hard and takes time and this poster has stated that they do love AZ so chill out.

It is also a lot more expensive to insure deeper pools, it is hard to find a home with one anymore b/c the insurance companies don't like them, most are in older homes.

I don't know much about the west, but I do know the Cactus Aquatic Center has a deep end and a diving well. I suggest checking the city websites and seeing where the public pools are.
