The elevation is 53.13 degrees.

<h2>Height and distance </h2>

It is the application of trigonometry.

<h3>Trigonometry</h3>

It deals with the sides and angles of the triangle.

<h3>Triangle </h3>

It has three sides and three angles.

Given

The height of the pool is 8 feet.

And she touches the horizontal bottom of the pool is 6 feet.

The angle

<h3>How to find the angle?</h3>

The height of the pool is 8 feet.

And she touches the horizontal bottom of the pool is 6 feet.

Then angle can be calculated by the tangent of $\theta$ .

$\rm tan\ \theta = \dfrac{Peprpendicular}{Base} \\tan \theta = \dfrac{8}{6} \\$

Then the $\theta$ will be

$\rm \theta = tan^{-1} \dfrac{8}{6} \\\theta = 53.13^{o}$

Then the $\theta$ will be 53.13 degrees.

Thus the elevation is 53.13 degrees.
