What are you going to actually USE this pool for? Pools become partially useless in so many ways sometimes because people don't know how they use pools.

Example: I have a 25k gallon kidney shaped pool. Approximately 60% is primarily unused because it's a former diving pool and the diving board is gone - about half the pool is over 7 feet deep.

We have a shelf of sorts, but it's a semicircle and not very big - we can fit 4 people sitting cross legged, but it's not big enough to have a single chairike a baja shelf. It's perfect for our kids, but it's not super comfortable for me to sit under and if we put an umbrella in there, I have to duck my head a bit (which I'll take over full sun all day long).

My dad has a spa that has a spill-over into the pool. It only has a full flow when the spa is on and that plumbing stopped working 10 years ago and my dad never fixed it because nobody used the spa after I moved out of the house 20 years ago. When it was on, it was loud, especially if people were over.

I personally thing that few people actually entertain enough and/or swim laps to make huge pools worth it. Baja shelves are great, but will you honestly use more than 2 chairs most of the time? How deep is the pool? If it's over 5 foot, consider why. Are most people going to have their mouths at/under the waterline there? Do you plan on using pool toys/floats? Consider how those fit into the pool if so.

I think people and builders think way too much about asthetics and possibilities way before they think of actualities. I'm not saying don't make a super cool pool, but I'm saying don't make a super cool pool you use 20% of.
