I would be surprised if they did. Generally pools deep enough to dive, I don’t mean race dive for swimming, use a life guard. Our shallow pools which resemble hot tubs except cooler and larger in area, are easier to handle. Also I find that older people don’t appreciate a person splashing around them. Some ladies have their hair done ($70 or so) to attend clubs etc, they don’t even wear hats against the sun, just sun-visors not to mess up their hair - and along comes someone splashy! Also they can’t swim any more walking is about it. The neighborhood pools are “walking” or socializing not swimming pools. The sports pools are dedicated. The family pools consider toddlers too. Although I have seen some “youngsters” sneak in a swim (not in sports pools) early or late when pools are basically empty.
