If you want to wait until the area is totally settled, you will have to wait atleast 3 years. We usually use flowable fill on the sides of the braced pools and bring to within 24" of the finish grade and then compact the base in 2" lifts with a plate compactor. If the pool is completely backfilled already, you will have to remove all the fill material and get rid of it. This will take more work, however you will not have to wait until it settles.
