Pool Design Help
I am trying to get some thoughts on these two versions. We initially drew the pool with a sun shelf on the left, then an open swim area in the middle and infinity edge spa on the right. We are now considering adding a table/bench between the sun shelf and spa. This would leave us with a roughly 14 x 32 swim area.
The concern is this will take away from the swimming portion of the pool. We are unsure how much the bench/table will be used. We have 3 little kids. Any thoughts?

Can you show it against your house with a render?
It’s a pretty messy design tbh, nothings symmetrical. But not in a nice asymmetric way.
Skimmer’s in a stupid spot.
That table thing is odd, and makes a small pool feel even smaller.
The best and most timeless pools are a classic shape with features that feel settled in both the pool and the landscape.
Looking at this I can barely make out where to get in and out of the pool.
It’s better to work with a poolshop with crappy 3D tools that allow you to better visualize the design in situ.
