Guest said: 5th Oct 2018 | REPORT
same i have built a pool and i have all the requirements but it just wont let me
Guest answered:

You have to go to the building section, go to gardening, then drag your finger to build what size you want. I have a lot of money, but not as many LP. The game will make you pay lp too. You might not want to buy a pool if you don't have any money. I bought one and it is about 35,000 bucks!

No need to worry about the swimming pool anyways there is a huge swimming pool in the town you can just build it and then you can go for swimming instead of buying one and no need for cleaning swimming also
Guest answered:

I play on my Iphone and I have no idea what the "gardening" tab is. There is a Plants & Flowers and a Outdorr Furniture... I'm level 21 and I've looked through all the tabs and I don't see any sort of pool building app. :(

no I got a residence house and I still cant get a pool
Guest answered:

To get the pools, you can be ANY level, but you need to have the Swimming center and get all the Diving medals. No offense, but have any of you guys read the help guide?!???!!?! O__0;

Guest said: 26th Nov 2013 | REPORT
There is nothing that says anything about that in the help guide
Guest said: 29th Nov 2013 | REPORT
You don't need all the medals
Guest said: 14th Dec 2013 | REPORT
You don't need the swimming center either.
Guest said: 20th Aug 2017 | REPORT
What do u mean that u don't need the swimming canter?
Guest answered:

At first I was stuck on that too. I think you can only buy it in the summer update or you need the Swimming centre, yet again, "I THINK" So don't come shouting in my face if I get this wrong.

Guest said: 17th Apr 2021 | REPORT

Merlissa answered:

I think everybody is facing this problem :
You have finished the Quest for Swimming pools and there is a pool tab in your building list but when you drag to build the pool it's always red right?
THAT IS THE PROBLEM SO don't CONFUSE IT WITH ANY OTHER CRAP.
I play on my iPhone and it always turns red.
Can some level-headed person please give us a USEABLE solution so we can all get back to our lives please??

it doesn't matter the level, just make sure you are at the pool objective. You will be able to build a pool once you have spoken to the the girl dressed as a rabbit (wumples) at the swim center. you sill then ride the slide for the last time (3hrs). after doing that the pool tab will be available in the shopping section under the outdoors tab
Guest said: 14th May 2014 | REPORT
So I'm on level 23 and the pool options are there and it still won't let me build! I tried dragging, clicking, nothing works, it's like a weird glitch or something. In the home store, I see: pool interior, pool, paving, and oaver width. I tried building a pool in a beach house AND a smalller one...still, it's not working. So odd. I'm on android. Any help or tips would be great. It's like the option is there but doesn't work for some reason...thanks in advance!
Guest said: 17th Feb 2015 | REPORT
That's the exact same problem I have but I am on iPhone ^^^

Guest answered:

You need to have a bit of extra room for the pool siding/walk, I think. Hope this helps!

Guest answered:

Mine worked when I was level 15. Once it works start with the 3 by 3 pool It will be expensive. After that add expansions to the pool and it will be cheaper. You will also need a ladder

how did you get to build the swim center on level 15?
Guest answered:

I have completed the Quest on level twenty and can't place one

Guest answered:

I don't know either so don't ask me!

Guest answered:

You don't have to be level 20, you just have to have completed the Quest "it's all going swimmingly" which occurs at level 14 or 15, I can't remember. Once you have completed the quest the reward is being able to build a po in your garden!

Guest answered:

Go to the home store and go to out door section the press where it says pool read the directions where you would shop.

So, I am on level 22, the "its all going swimmingly quest" completed, have the pool tab, tried on every house, used the gardening tab to get a size, etc. and still get nothing but red. What now please? I can complete my daily quest if I don't build a pool.
Guest answered:

You cannot have your pool too close to the edge that’s why the box stays red for instance try starting your pool in the middle you will Notice the box turns green
