How do I figure the area of a pool from the perimeter? It is a kidney
shaped (exaggerated) pool.

Fix a rule to the side of the pool.

Bail out one (or more) 55 gallon drums full from the pool

Area per inch change per drum is approx 88.23 sq ft.

Walk around the perimeter feeling happy :-)

Not with a curved bottom.....



You don't bail the water out of the bottom of the pool, you bail it out of the
top :-)
