The definition of a pool reads as follows: &#8220;artificial water reservoir, with masonry walls, for irrigation&#8221;. That is to say, nothing to do with what we understand as a swimming pool: a construction with a large amount of water for recreational use and water sports.    <\/p>\n\n<p>Thus, the pool is a reservoir built for the purpose of storing water for irrigation, but in the past it was also used as a bathing place.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Differences between swimming pool and pool<\/h3>\n\n<p>The main <strong>differences<\/strong> between swimming pool and swimming pool are the following:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The pool is used as a <strong>reservoir for irrigation<\/strong> and the <strong>swimming pool for sports and leisure purposes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>installation<\/strong> of a pool is done next to one or two walls, and above ground level. Pools are installed by digging into the ground and raising the walls. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The pool has a <strong>maintenance system<\/strong> in terms of water purification and sanitation.

Thanks to new construction techniques it is now possible to create a pool as if it were a swimming pool.
