Swimming in pools is a popular recreational activity during hot, Florida summers. Above ground pools have advantages such as they are easier and quicker to construct, cheaper to install and maintain, and safer than below-grade swimming pools. For this project, you will design an above ground pool. While designing, you should consider the following criteria:
-What shape(s) would be best for a pool?
-Are there any height restrictions?
-How many gallons of water are desired and how many cubic feet is that equivalent to? (1 cubic foot = 7.48 liquid gallons)
-Is the water going to completely fill the pool? (Typically there is a minimum of 7 inches from the height of the wall to the water fill line)
-How far apart should the pool wall braces be spaced?
-Where would be good placement for the ladder and pump?
