Deck Around A Pool?

I have posted some of my work here and as much as I may know I still have much to learn. That said, how do i build a deck around a round pool in regardes to the footings? Do I have to have footers 36" deep or could i use precast blocks? the pool being above ground isnt really a permanent thing, so what have some of you guys done? I live in PA and i will call the township to get the final verdict but wanted a heads up from you all.

Around here I still have to go down 48 inches even for an above ground pool, just did 2 this summer like that.

I kinda know the answer but it sucks to do all the footings and then someday someone has to dig them out because they dont want a pool anymore.
