Portland cement fills up the spaces between the particles of sand when you mix it like water soaks into a sponge, so mixing one part cement and 3 parts sand will not give you 4 parts mix, more like 3 parts. I get you will need 17 bags of cement and 2 1/2 tons of sand.

That Answer Is Way Off, U Would Need To Use Poolmix To Mix With The White Cement Poolmix Is Crushed White Marble And Depending On If The Pool Is A New Construct Or A Redo U Would Need 30 Bags Of Cement And 60 Bags Of Pool Mix It Is A 1 To 2 Ratio On The Mix I Have 25 Years Of Pool Plastering Exp. THAT IS IF THE TOTAL SG.FT IS 1700 WALLS AND FLOOR
