The surface area of the pool covered by tiles can be calculated by finding the surface area of each side and adding them all up.

- The bottom of the pool is a rectangle with dimensions 25 ft x 12 ft = 300 ft^2.
- The two long sides have dimensions 25 ft x 4.5 ft = 112.5 ft^2 each.
- The two short sides have dimensions 12 ft x 4.5 ft = 54 ft^2 each.

Adding all these up, we get:
300 ft^2 + 112.5 ft^2 + 112.5 ft^2 + 54 ft^2 + 54 ft^2 = 633 ft^2

Therefore, the correct answer is:
633 ft2
