We are considering putting in either an 18" by 48" swim out in the deep end ~OR~ a bench that would run the entire length of the pool on one side (40'). Does anyone have experience with a bench running the length of the pool? Does the benefit of having seating and space for kids to rest running the length of the pool outweigh the risk of people jumping on it or bumping into it?

Also Has anyone done a pool with PMM Marquis in Pewter, Antigua, or Panama? Would love to see your pictures. We can only find pictures of Diamond Brite and even those aren't reliable.
