pool steps

Ladder's gradual alternative

Pool steps are stairs built into or attached to a swimming pool, allowing swimmers to enter and exit the water gradually rather than jumping or using a ladder.

They may be molded into the pool's structure or added as removable units: The kids sat on the pool steps in the shallow end.

Pool steps typically have textured surfaces to prevent slipping.
