The flat area around a pool is called the «pool deck».
-
#5
I would sit on the side of the pool with my legs dangling in the water.

I usually say side, whether in or out of the water, or pool side to talk specifically about the area immediately surrounding the pool.
-
#7
Yes, it would be side for me too (but then Rover, Rainbow and I all come from the same pokey corner of the English-speaking world).
-
#8
Pool side or poolside here too. Ewie, I’m sure it isn’t just British. Don’t Americans etc. talk about poolside barbecues, etc?
I wouldn’t say deck unless there was actually (wooden) decking around the pool.

#9
I’m sure at least some of them do, Nat

Yes, deck for me definitely means a wooden deck which in fact may not even be connected to the pool (it might simply overlook it).
In the US we (or I, at least) talk about poolsides—poolside BBQ, etc.; the word poolside is usually used adjectivally or adverbially—and that refers to the area by the pool where people socialize, sunbathe, etc.
But take note that we also say side/edge of the pool. It depends on the context:
A: Where is John?
B: He’s probably drinking a beer poolside (= drinking a beer by/next to the pool, in the area near the pool).
A: Kathy, don’t run near the edge of the pool!
B: I know. I’m just playing on/by the side of the pool. (edge implies closer to the water)
-
#11
A: Kathy, don’t run near the edge of the pool!
B: I know. I’m just playing on/by the side of the pool. (edge implies closer to the water)
Good point, Archimedes-Brian ~ I’d make the same distinction

Perhaps my familiarity with construction terms has gotten in the way. «Pool deck» is definitely what that pool area is called by the people who build/install them.

I want to amend my first post. I was thinking about the point where the water stops and the land begins rather than the broader picture of what surrounds a pool.
Brian8733 said:
A: Where is John?
B: He’s probably drinking a beer poolside (= drinking a beer by/next to the pool, in the area near the pool).A: Kathy, don’t run near the edge of the pool!
B: I know. I’m just playing on/by the side of the pool. (edge implies closer to the water)
This is how I would use these words.
As for the deck, though, I would call a cement (or more properly «concrete») patio around a pool a «deck» as well, as in this picture:

Yeah, technical and colloquial terms often tend to differ quite drastically, as the case may be here. I’d say the general (colloquial) understanding of (pool) deck in North American English is a (usually) wooden area around the pool: example.
If there were only concrete/brick/etc. around the pool (example), I would not call it a deck. However, I did find that picture by doing a Google search for «pool deck» (hence why the pic name is pool-deck-1.jpg).
So maybe it’s a matter of region, technical register, etc.

I quickly realised that it is difficult to get started when writing a novel. You have this dream of what you want to create, but it is like walking around a swimming pool and hesitating to jump in because the water is too cold.
