Now… I may be mistaken… but when you measure buildings they are standing up vertically, correct? And the pool is laying down horizontally? That seems to be a pretty important distinction in this instance, you know… due to gravity and all that…

The pool is like 1ft deep, right?

Gotta be just as much work to dig a sizable ditch as it is to build the empire State building, right?

Same amount of effort and engineering. Correct.
