    I don’t think you can assume constant velocity. 16 forward movement lines on the top vs 13 on the bottom so it’s moving at 81.25% speed in the bottom compared to the top.

        Pretty sure speed lines increase logarithmically with speed, not linearly.

        Does this account for the presence of speed holes?

      You can though, unless the water in the pool has no momentum. It would not be flat if the vehicle was accelerating enough to move that far in a 2-3 second dive.
