Built Different Ways. Pools can be dug into the ground or sit above it like a giant bathtub in your backyard. Ships even have pools on board so people can swim while traveling across the ocean!

Made From Strong Stuff. Pools are built using tough materials like concrete, stone, metal, plastic, and fiberglass so they can hold tons of water without breaking or leaking.

Olympic Size Champion. The biggest standard pool is an Olympic-size swimming pool, which is used in the Summer Olympics for competitive swimming and diving events.

Water Activities Galore. Pools aren't just for swimming laps, people also use them for diving, water polo, synchronized swimming, and just having fun with friends and family.
