A swimming pool, swimming bath, wading pool, or simply a pool, is an artificially enclosed body of water intended for swimming or water-based recreation. There are many standard sizes; the largest and deepest is the Olympic size. A pool can be built either above or in the ground, and from materials such as metal, plastic or concrete.
Pools that may be used by many people or by the general public are called public, while pools used exclusively by a few people or in a home are called private. Many health clubs, fitness centers and private clubs have public pools used mostly for exercise. Many hotels and massage parlors have public pools for relaxation. Hot tubs and spas are pools with hot water, used for relaxation or therapy, and are common in homes, hotels, clubs and massage parlors. Swimming pools are also used for diving, other sports, and training of lifeguards and astronauts.
Pools must be sanitized to prevent growth and spread of bacteria, viruses, algae and insect larvae that can cause disease. This is done by using filters and chemical disinfectants such as chlorine, bromine or mineral sanitizers.

Q. got a 18' X 48" above ground walmart swimming pool. I have found a spot in my yard to put it. I know I'm gonna kill the grass under it. Is there anyway to keep the ground underneath the pool from smelling bad when I take the pool down???sand is a good idea for leveling the pool, but you will end up tracking most of it in the pool. I'm asking is there any chemical or stuff that people have done to keep the ground from smelling afterwards?
Asked by min77ion - Sat Jul 7 21:02:34 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. As mentioned, level the ground with a sand bed 1" thick. It would be best to go ahead and excavate the ground to this depth in the diameter of the pool with an extra 2" for a hard walled pool or 5" for a soft walled inflatable ring type. Spread the sand over the ground and level it off. You can also use some landscape edging to surround the area where the sand bed is to keep it in place and look more professional.*EDIT*No, there isn't any special chemical to put down to keep the ground from smelling. You can aerate it if you take the pool down and spread some gardening lime on it to kill the smell but don't let the kids or animals on the area until it's completely absorbed into the ground.
