A pool is good for bigger breeds I guess.
I use a large Rubber Maid storage box. Used to use the large size cat litter pan., but RM has lots of sizes. I use the plastic bins for the first 3 or 4 weeks, then change to a bed inside an xpen..so they can get in and out of the bed to potty. I like something I can wash out weekly.

If the whelping bed is too large you will have problems keeping it warm and pups will spread out too far from mom.
