1. An aquatic ladder, comprising: a pair of substantially parallel, substantially vertical spaced support members, each of said vertical spaced support members having upper and lower portions, the upper portion formed as an inverted “U” shape and terminating at a distal upper end, the lower portion terminating at a proximal lower end, the proximal lower ends extending substantially lower than the distal upper ends when the aquatic ladder is in an upright orientation; a pair of spaced sloped step support members extending at an angle with respect to said vertical spaced support members, each of said sloped step support members including upper and lower ends, each said upper end being rigidly affixed, respectively, to one of the proximal lower ends of said vertical spaced support members, the lower ends of said sloped step support members being horizontally spaced away from the proximal lower ends of said vertical spaced support members, said sloped step support members being spaced from one another; and a plurality of relatively deep and relatively wide substantially horizontal steps being mounted between said sloped step support members, wherein each lower step of said horizontal steps is displaced both vertically and horizontally further from the point where said vertical spaced support members meet said sloped step support members than any preceding one of said horizontal steps above it; wherein said pair of sloped step support members each comprise front and rear members, said front members being spaced from said rear members, said front members being attached to the front of said horizontal steps and said rear member being attached to the rear of said horizontal steps.
