Depending on the pool it will have chlorine, maybe salt water. It's going to need to drain somewhere -

Someone said on a different forum they purchased a home in the Wetlands (I'm not sure where) the EPA kicked them out to do something (don't remember) paid for their hotel stay before they let them move back in

This guy's experience with wetlands was interesting:

He mentions that wetland inventory map I found earlier - it's so important to do due diligence yourself. Even when contacting experts.

One farmer I know who lets us walk our dog on his property?

The property next time (several hundred acres) is being sold off lot by lot.

Some bordering his property did a survey, it went over his fenceline he's kept up (mowing, etc) for decades. He hired a lawyer, sent a letter to the man. The lawyer did research on the new owners-

If a couple or person is wanting to buy wetlands to build on, it's going to have a lot of extra red tape, potential set backs.

It's investors buying wetlands in prime real estate spots - they have the funding to push through red tape.

imo that's the way to go - lean into conservation if someone is wanting to live or buy wetlands.

the wetland permaculture food crops is something to look into, eventually

I like this guy's attitude:

Instead of planing projects like in ground swimming pools near wetlands, he's focused on rewilding, planting native plants. He got in touch with the state's conservation programs.
