What is a Swimming Pool?
Swimming pool is useful whether for recreation, exercise, or competition, swimmers of all ages and abilities. Although most swimming pools are dug into the ground, they can also be constructed above ground or integrated into an existing structure like a hotel or ship.
Above-ground pools are the most convenient and affordable because they are put together from kits. However, it is not often easy to see who is in the pool from the surrounding area, which raises safety issues.
Depending on their function, swimming pools come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and depths. The typical dimensions of a private pool range from 3.75 meters by 7.35 meters (feet) to 6.15 meters by 12.2 feet (meters).
Comparatively, most public pools are rectangular and range from 25 to 50 meters, while competition pools must be between 25 and 50 meters in length, 1.35 meters in depth, and 8 lanes wide.
