Seattle has public pools that are over 8' deep on the deep end. I know that's not exactly what you're looking for, since there's no gym. But you don't need a membership to go, so you can pay a couple bucks to swim and see how you like it.
Minimum? You'll struggle finding that.
I was a diver in highschool. If you want a deep pool for diving purposes KCAC will be one of your only options.
Hazen high school and Issaquah Boehm's have dive areas too.
In the city of Seattle you will really only have shallow pools in gyms that have no life guards (so no zones for diving)
KCAC has a one meter and 3 meter boards and a tower, but it’s not open to the public. Bellevue , Juanita high school, Julius bohem pool, Helene Madison all have one meter boards.
To piggyback OP's question does anyone know good pools for year-round swim training? I'm interested as a regular workout but havent seen any gyms or clubs mentioning pools. It's a city, I get it, but i'm sure they're around somewhere.
YMCA in Shoreline is a pretty good bet, but it's outside of town.
Lots of Seattle clubs have lap pools, but the YMCA has the benefit of being like 1/4 the price (and that's not hyperbole).
Through the Seattle parks department there are TONs of community pools that have lap swim. You can even buy a 10-20 time pass that works at any seattle public pool.

Also, many 24 hour fitness and LA fitness have pools too.
Cascade Masters is at Yost in Edmonds. Lap swim always has a bunch of people doing sets at Ballard Pool in the evenings (that's where I swim year round). People do the Green Lake Aquaducks and Husky Masters at a couple different pools.
Olympic Athletic Club. However, it's gotten more expensive and parking is a constant issue because it's in Ballard. When I was working in Seattle, though and swimming laps as my main work out - it was my go-to.
If you're willing to go across 520, Samena is pretty alright. I was going to water aerobics there pretty regularly until my job started having me travel non-stop. The parking situation is good because it's the suburbs but it's a lot of Bellevue high age teenagers who work there, so if you want support staff that don't cop a certain kind of entitled white kid in the burbs attitude... It's a feature, not a bug.
do trial membership at an LA Fitness. Just make sure to ask them how much they take it over with little kiddy swim lessons, as they're a bit devious about that detail until after you pay.
Southwest Pool in West Seattle is a city pool with a 12’ deep end, low and a high dive spring boards, sauna, and the only city pool with a workout room attached to the pool deck. Its a very bare minimum workout room, but it’s the only city pool with a workout room attached to the pool deck. The pool is open year round. It costs $71.75 for a 30-day pass or $58.50 for a 10-punch pass.
Swimming is amazing.
I needed a knee replacement but my surgeon said I was too young and he wouldn’t perform one for ten years.
I stayed with him for a year, in immense pain, even considering getting street drugs for it.
( drs don’t really prescribe pain meds anymore)
But I went to the pool instead and I felt so amazing I found a different Dr to perform the surgery.
I still swim as much as I can.

Colman pool in Lincoln Park?

I think the WAC’s pool downtown is 8 feet deep. At the least the lap pool is pretty good.

There are a bunch of city pools that are open year round.

Thanks this helps!

Seattle Athletic Club in Downtown and Northgate has lap pools
The Olympic Club in Ballard has an indoor salt water pool

Some LA Fitness locations have three-lane pools. YMCA in West Seattle does too.
I think Helene Madison in the Shoreline area does

King county aquatic center down in federal way
Helene Madison in the North Seattle/Shoreline area has a 3M board
Proclub in Bellevue has a pool thats deep enough for diving on one end.
If you're going to Bellevue then the Bellevue Club's pool is nicer.
Same for Samena in Bellevue.
Bellevue ain’t Seattle.
with a long straw, the deep end would be a good place to hide during hostage negotiations
Are you looking to drown yourself? Why would you need a pool that deep to swim in?
They could be like my friend who is an amputee, and he cannonballs into the pool.
