20090119829 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RETROFITTING A BODY OF WATER WITH AN AREA OF LOWER DEPTH - An apparatus and method are provided for retrofitting a body of water with an area of lower depth. A depth reducing support structure, which includes a platform and a platform support, is provided to allow swimmers to sit or stand above the water surface of a body of water after swimming in an area of higher depth. The depth reducing support structure is submerged in a body of water, such as a swimming pool, but is separate from the structure defining the limits of the body of water and, therefore, is moveable relative thereto. | 05-14-2009 |
