Since we have a person, 6.2feet tall, and he is standing in a pool, that means that he is taller than the depth of the pool. In order to find out how deep the pool is, we can just subtract the distance from the top of the head until the surface of the water, from the person's height.
In our case: the distance from head to surface is 2.8feet.
The depth of the pool is 6.2-2.9=3.3feet
