pool

This is one of many words that are associated with 'a body of water'.

In this case, 'pool' is likely to be small, holding fresh water (as opposed to salt water or stagnant water) and possibly temporary as is the case where 'water collects in pools after rain'.

In some instances it is shallow, but can be deep, particularly in natural environments where water gathers between rocks.

Be aware that specific types of pools will be qualified. For example, swimming pool, rock pool, diving pool. In these examples each type of pool gains unique attributes and expands our understanding of them.

If you are stretching your use of English, test your creativity and clarity by writing a 4-sentence piece about any of the various pools mentioned in this post.
