:D (as they got older they would set up a ladder and jump off that into the pool. Our kids spent more time jumping off the edges, hot tub, and rocks and diving to the bottom for rings, and being thrown around by daddy. We didn't really play volleyball in our pool, we didn't have much of a shallow end. Our young children mostly used them to walk and stand on, or kneel on them. They were deep enough that as adults, hubby and I would sit there and the water would be about chest to shoulder deep on us.
Because it was a curvy, free form pool the ledges were pretty much out of the way. We had two of those ledges, one you can kind of see to the left of the hot tub, the other one was out of the shot at the bottom right of the pool. They were about ages 4-8 when we had the pool done and we swam in it almost daily for the next five or so years until we had to move cross country. Here's a poor quality photo of the pool we built (we were our own contractors) when we lived in Texas. drainage would have to be dealt with with someone who has that profession. This pic shown can be incorporated into the pool shape and if you use dry stacked stone the pool can be made useable in the future if so desired. Also, if deciding to cover, it can be done in stages as you have funds available to get it exactly how you want it. think of the circular outdoor fire pit/ fireplace areas. Cover it with I'd say a composite decking (no rot, no maintenance) with a railing if leaving part uncovered or you can even get creative with a sunken oasis (water removed lol) at the far end from the house. even before I read any comments I pictured a similar idea to the first commenter. Also really liked the idea of covering with a roof and walls that open up in the warmer weather, however if you only use the pool occasionally this will not be a cost you'd be wanting.
It will extend your entertaining space, will cost less in the long run and gives a buyer the option of uncovering the pool or leaving covered. I have read all the comments and agree with the idea of a deck or 'floor' over the pool.
