POOL TYPES
PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL
Private pools are usually smaller than public pools, on average 12 ft x 24 ft (3.7 m x 7.3 m) to 20 ft x 40 ft (6.1 m x 12 m) whereas public pools usually start at 80 ft (24 m).
Home pools can be permanently built-in, or be assembled above ground and disassembled after summer. Privately owned outdoor pools in backyards or gardens started to proliferate in the 1950s in regions with warm summer climates, particularly in the United States.

RECREATIONAL SWIMMING POOL
Public pools are often part of a larger leisure centre or recreational complex. These centers often have more than one pool, such as an indoor heated pool, an outdoor (chlorinated, saltwater or Ozonated) pool which may be heated or unheated, a shallower children's pool, and a paddling pool for toddlers and infants. There may also be a sauna and one or more hot tubs or spa pools ("jacuzzis").
COMPETITION SWIMMING POOL
Standards for competition pools: 25 or 50 m (82 or 164 ft) long and at least 1.35 m (4.4 ft) deep. Competition pools are generally indoors and heated to enable their use all year round, and to more easily comply with the regulations regarding temperature, lighting, and automatic officiating equipment.
SKIMMER TYPE SWIMMING POOL
A skimmer swimming pool is designed to pull water into the system from the pool's surface with a skimming action, pulling in floating objects like leaves and dirt before they sink to the pool's bottom. Skimmers also are used to vacuum the pool with a manual vacuum or suction side automatic pool cleaner.
VANISHING EDGE SWIMMING POOL
Vanishing edge pools are often seen at exotic resorts and exclusive estates, in advertisements and in other luxurious places.
OVERFLOW TYPE SWIMMING POOL
A perimeter-overflow pool is a type of vanishing-edge pool designed so that water spills over all four walls, giving it the appearance of a mirror.
