Hello. I am a Certified Master Gardener. Horticulture was my major in college. I have been employed in a plant nursery, and I work with plants as a volunteer at my local Botanic Gardens.
Near the pool is an excellent place for a queen palm. The root ball is mostly just under the surface of the soil, spreading like a net to anchor it very, very firmly in the soil.
Palms do not have water-seeking invasive roots, as do Willows (Salix babylonica). Water-seeking, invasive roots can actually grow down to and break sewer pipes. Palms do not have a large tap root system, either.
A friend had their pool & spa area professionally landscaped, and the landscaper installed all types of palms. It's beautiful.
I sincerely hope this helps you.

Queen Palm Root System

Queen palm do not present any problems with their roots... In my region they are not considered quality palms and highly proned for fungal diseases. From my experience of living in Ft. Laud (planting region 10B) to now living in Central Fla (planting region 9) those palms do poorly by either growing too fast or dying easily. I strongly suggest a visit to your local nursery for a better choice.
I prefer potted plants around my pool... they are easier to care and won't do any damages to my pool area.
