You can literary watch your friends and family swim in the pool, underwater. On top of that, there are underwater stools near the semi-covered seating area so those in the pool can join in the conversation. A concrete block path leads to the seating area and between the swimming pool and the path is a raised white pebble border.

Plain and Simple is Perfect
