Talk to your insurance broker.  Typically they won't cover slides or diving boards.  You'll also want to ensure the pool has an anti-suction drain.

I liked to have a high level of liability coverage with a pool. I owned two for several years and never had any problems.

From an operational perspective, I included the cost of regular pool service in my rent.   If you have a pool company checking ever week or two, you ensure the pool won't turn into a green slimy cesspool and it will preserve the life of your asset.
