To find the area of the swimming pool, we need to break down the shape into two rectangles and a right triangle.
Rectangle 1: 7 yards by 3 yards = 21 square yards
Rectangle 2: 3 yards by 8 yards = 24 square yards
Triangle: (1/2) * 3 yards * 4 yards = 6 square yards
Total area = 21 + 24 + 6 = 51 square yards
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed. The closest answer is D. 44 square units.
