Those new "sports pools" are all the rage right now. Especially in the new tract home with little to no back yard. They're basically 5' deep rectangles for playing vollyball, basketball, and cooling off.

My pool (the treasure chest) is amoeba shaped. Someone in a nearby neighborhood is putting in a new pool, it has rocks all arround it and a small waterslide too. That's sweet! I really want one of those old school slides and I've thought about making a swim-up bar in one part of my pool. Maybe some day...

I think the people who put in pools love to sell those "sports pools" because they're less expensive, easier to install, and require no creative tallent at all. Do you have kids? I have so many memories of swimming, making it to the deep end and showing my parents new dives. I think a standard pool with a deep end would be more fun for kids. Good luck deciding.
