In Minecraft Alpha Single Player Survival, what are the specifications to create a waterfall elevator to go from the bottom of a long mine shaft to the surface?
Answer
If I understand the theory, here’s how you do it.
≋≋≋≋≋█ ← remove this - ground level
██████ when ready

█ █ - mine level
███████
Remove the marked block and this happens:
≋≋≋≋≋≋~ - ground level
██████≋
█≋

...................................................

█≋~~~~~~█ - mine level
███████
To move up and down, swim up and down the column of water; move slightly out to breathe then continue your ascension.
A boat makes this faster as Strix explains and this video demostrates. However, you must allow further space down to avoid crashing on the bottom:

█≋

█≋
█≋≋≋≋≋≋≋█ - mine level
█≋≋≋≋≋≋█
█≋≋≋≋≋█ - extra space to break the fall
█████
This video shows, however, that you can also climb a boat elevator by simply swimming.
