No, a pool area is not like any other terrain in that it is hot; there is
the possibility that folks have left food trash there. The dog might take
exception to your going into the pool. But mainly, if it is an outdoor pool,
I would say you would want to be very, very careful about the heat. There is
paving along the pool which makes it hotter, and sun reflects off water.

A pool area is like any other terrain. It's about training. Metuka settles
in when I swim. I just clip her leash to a chair or object, put a towel
down for her, and down she goes. Enjoy yourself!

on tie down at an outdoor pool. The only issue I have with taking a dog to a
pool is that the law does say that the dog must be under the direct control
of the handler at all times, which may not apply to a tie down or crate,
since you cannot immediately reach your dog in a situation that might arise.
That is one consideration I would make before taking my dog. Someone with
enough knowledge of the law could argue that the dog is not under direct
control.
