MUNDANE MYSTERIES: How deep are the Olympic pools?

Let’s keep the Olympic theme going for today’s mystery… how deep are the pools in the Summer Olympics?

The regular swimming pools for the swimming events in Tokyo are almost 10 feet deep.  Pretty standard. The diving pools which obviously need to be deeper are between 10 and 16 feet depending on the event.  The high dive uses the deepest part. I would hope so!
