A swimming pool is a body of water used for recreational swimming and aquatic sports. Often, it’s enclosed in a building that includes a changing room and showers for preparation and cleaning. It can be indoor or outdoor. It can also be part of a health club or a fitness center. Various government agencies may provide public pools, especially in urban areas, as well as many hotels. Apartment complexes, school campuses, and residential subdivisions may also have swimming pools.
The paved area around a pool basin is called the pool deck. Concrete is the most common material for pool decks, and it’s affordable and durable. It can be colored to complement a pool or to blend with the surrounding landscape. Tile is an option, but glazed tile – like what you would use on a kitchen or bathroom counter – is not recommended around a pool, as it can be very slippery. Tile can also be expensive, and it’s difficult for amateur DIYers to install.
An alternative to concrete is an acrylic pool topping, which is a coating applied over the surface of the pool deck. It offers some of the benefits of concrete — durability, low maintenance, and cost — while adding color and texture to the deck. It also helps prevent cracking and heat loss.
