When is a pool too small? (assessor, swimming pool, children)

[barryhussein]

Hey folks, another swimming pool question. I noticed that the assessor counts pools by square footage and it doesn't matter how deep they are. My question is what constitutes a good size pool square footage wise. At a certain point, a small pool will be a liability. I've seen 340, 450, 500. Would these be considered too small? What is a good size for a non-Catholic family?

A good size for a non-Catholic family?? Interesting question. Maybe some non-Catholics will know. LOL.

You should post your question on protestantswithpools.org

I didn't know non-Catholics had different size requirements than Catholics. I guess you learn something new every day.

He means they aren't popping out 15 kids.

So basically he wants 2.3 children. Figure 21 sq feet per child. You need a pool that is 49 sq feet.

I think around AZ we have a different religious group who usually gets the blame for popping out too many kids - so I'm not sure if that's what he's talking about.

The size of your pool is going to consist of some basic issues - how big is your back yard, and how much of your back yard are you willing to have consumed by a large water-filled hole, knowing that you have to pay not only to dig the hole, but also to continually replenish the water, and keep it clean.

A pool is too small when you can't find it without getting down on your hands and knees.

When you jump in the pool and most of the water leaves, the pool is too small.

Well, that would depend on if your a mormon or not? Mormons use the lakes. Now an atheist just uses his bathtub!
