i30,000+ pools in the ground since 1958 with no complaints about the 1st step being too small to step on. I'm trying not to look like a dick here; just that I'm a perfectionist and like things centered. no offense given.
they don't have 10" wide feet; you only need a maximum of 8" to step on. 16" is quite wide enough. it just looks odd to set a handrail off so far to one side for years to come.
with the handrail off-set to one side the elderly people will have to use their left hand when entering and their right hand when exiting. whereas with the rain centered they can use the strongest hand entering and exiting; also the whole picture looks better with the handrail in the center of the entry steps.

I hear ya, but it's tough to walk up and down a 16" wide step with a handrail going through the middle of it:)
