The Swimming Pool is a Timberborn building that provides a decorative and functional water feature requiring both a narrow above-ground deck and a sunk swimming area in adjacent water. It is constructed across a combination of solid ground and water, with specific size and depth requirements that determine whether placement and construction are possible.
The Swimming Pool sits on a 3×1 strip of solid ground for its deck and requires an adjacent 3×3 area of water for the swimming area. The water used for the pool must be at least 0.2 m deep. The structure has a height of two because the deck occupies above-ground blocks (the 3×1 portion) while the swimming area occupies sunken blocks in the water (the 3×3 portion). The gallery for the building shows the pool in use and presented as a dedicated build, illustrating typical placement against a shoreline or alongside constructed water tiles.
Construction footprint: a 3×1 solid ground strip plus an adjacent 3×3 water area.
Minimum water depth: 0.2 m for the 3×3 swimming area.
Vertical profile: height of two due to deck above ground and sunken swimming area.
Placement implication: the deck portion must be on any solid tile; the swimming area must be on water tiles meeting the depth requirement.
Visual examples: gallery images show both in-use pools and dedicated builds highlighting the required water adjacency.
Because the Swimming Pool requires both solid ground and a contiguous square of sufficiently deep water, planning placement involves ensuring available shoreline or artificially created water tiles meet the 3×3 area and depth constraint. The two-block height means the deck and the sunken pool occupy distinct vertical layers, so terrain and adjacent constructions must accommodate the above-ground deck and the sunken water blocks. The available gallery material demonstrates common layouts and how the pool integrates with nearby shorelines and constructed water basins.
