This question is more about the way to install a slide or diving board. There are two ways to install these. The in deck, or on deck method. This is the way that the support poles are anchored to the concrete.

Normally, that will be determined by the model you get, AND by whether the equip is installed after-market, or originally. However, drilled anchors can work loose; poured-in anchors can not, unless the concrete breaks.
What models are you looking at?

We are having an in ground pool constructed. We were told that it would only take 5 weeks and everything would be done. The contract was signed last summer. So it has been almost a year.
They were going to pour our decking, when the pool people put that on hold so they could install the waterfall,slide, and diving board. We were told that they had it in stock, turns out they did not and now 3 weeks later
we got a call saying the slide is going to be delivered on Friday, and they are going to install everything on Monday.
We were getting frustrated because our other backyard projects have been on hold until they pour the decking. So we were thinking of having the slide and diving board installed on deck. I guess we will see if it gets installed by Monday.
I don't know what to say. I don't think you can fix the problems with your construction schedule, by taking shortcuts on the slide & diving board.
