Swimming Pool

The Swimming Pool is a decorative and recreational building that provides beavers with a place to swim. It occupies a combined area of raised decking and a sunken water basin, integrating with existing water tiles rather than requiring a standalone pond. The pool is primarily aesthetic and used to improve the look of a settlement and provide beavers with a leisure location, fitting into landscaping and park-style builds.

Construction requires a 3×1 strip of solid ground for the pool's deck and an adjacent 3×3 area of water for the swimming basin. The water cells used by the pool must be at least 0.2 m deep. The pool’s structure is two blocks high in effect: the deck sits on above-ground blocks (the 3×1 strip), while the swimming area occupies lowered water blocks (the 3×3 basin). Because the pool integrates directly with water tiles, it must be placed at the shoreline or on an engineered water edge; it cannot float over dry land without an eligible water area beside the deck.

• Place the 3×1 deck along the shore so the adjacent 3×3 water area aligns directly with the pool's sunken basin.
• Ensure each of the three water tiles across the width and three tiles in depth meet the minimum depth requirement of 0.2 m before construction begins.
• The visual impact is maximized when the pool is set into gentle landscaping or combined with pathways and seating; it is commonly used as a feature in dedicated recreational districts.
• The pool’s dual occupancy (deck and basin) means it can be combined with existing water-management works as long as the required water depth and footprint are preserved.

The Swimming Pool does not require special water infrastructure beyond the natural or engineered water tiles it uses, but careful placement and terrain shaping are necessary to meet the depth and footprint constraints. Images of the pool show both in-use scenarios and standalone decorative installations to guide placement and aesthetic design.
