There are numerous different types of swimming pools, including both in-ground and above-ground pools. In-ground pools are built by digging a hole into the ground and filling it with water. Alternatively, above-ground pools are self-contained pools that require users to climb up into them. Above-ground pools are generally much more portable, and some smaller above-ground pools are made for easy assembly and disassembly whenever the user desires.\n\nIn-ground pools are the most common type of swimming pool. They are usually found both outdoors and indoors. In-ground pools are often located at recreation centers, neighborhood facilities, and private backyards. In-ground pools are also commonly found at hotels and spas.\n\nThe first swimming pool was an in-ground pool, built around the 3rd millennium BC. The pool was 39 x 23 feet and made of bricks and a tar-based sealant.\n\nSwimming pools are identified as being large human-made areas filled with water (and disinfecting chemicals).
