How about this?
Line the empty pool with a waterproof membrane and add an independent sump pump in the deep end. Now fill the pool with gravel flush to the surrounding grade. Now build your deck over the gravel. You won't have the structural concerns of a suspended deck and if you ever want the pool back you can just remove the gravel, sump and membrane.
Plus. It's NEVER a bad idea to teach your kids to swim asap. You can make your home safe but you never know when your going to be at a freinds house or birthday party or whatever. It's just a good thing to do.
