    Reduce only sometimes? Sounds pretty difficult to me. Hydraulic cylinders and a false bottom?

    Why not just lower the water level?

    That's too easy an answer! LOL. I was thinking about just the deep end.

    If lowering the water level isn't an option for some reason:
    Custom sunken trampoline with no gaps on edges, situated at one end of the pool only?
    (Do olympic pools have a deep end?)

    Diving pools do and some are built for multi purpose, you start in the shallow end.
