    For the foundation, I would recommend using dirt for a basic pool. Since dirt is all around in the Overworld, you can get great quantities with ease. If you are going for a cooler design, Quartz block is a bit hard to get but looks great. Marble and concrete could also look realistic.

    Community Answer
    Yes, but it is complicated. You would have to make a stack of blocks, then build around the blocks. When you have made the pool, use those blocks as a way to get up to your pool, or remove the blocks and have it completely suspended in the air.

    Community Answer
    Obviously, it would be a good idea to get out of the pool ASAP, as the drowned will quickly target you. If you’re feeling confident, you could try and fight it, though it may be hard to get close enough to land a hit. Always carry a sword with you in case of things like these.
