We are pool killers. We have filled in two. Reasons were lack of sunlight which meant exorbitant heating costs, the short length of time it was comfortable to use each year, expensive and/or lack of pool maintenance supplies/personnel, higher (much higher!!) insurance costs and the list goes on.
The first thing you should do if you are a responsible home owner, is to check what your community/city's bylaws are, regarding pools. Often, a fence of a certain height and a locking gate are required--even if it is an above ground pool. The second thing is to check your home owner's insurance and liability.
Having and using a pool in Georgia is hugely different from where you live now.
