I’ve done this scaffold boards and WFP you only really need 3 scaffold boards any less and it can be a bit of a balancing act.

In that case I think you might drown !

it's quite hard to find a really deep pool these days ( well around here ) most now are  5ft Max for insurance purposes

have you not checked the depth when you quoted - esp. if you can't swim I would have thought that was important info on the H&S side of things...

Canoe or inflatable shark/crocodile or other animal of choice, the unicorn may work well
