Fortunately, it was reportedly discovered that the bones were not human. Also, they had likely been buried in the area for thousands of years.
Joshua Bonde, the research director for the Nevada Science Center, inspected the area and determined that the pool workers had been digging through sediment that dated back to the ice age. The bones belong to some sort of animal from that time period.

It’s believed that the bones are between 6,000 to 14,000 years old.
Bonde told local reporters, “So this thing is about four to five feet below the present ground surface and so the animal was probably wandering around the world in southern Nevada, which was not nearly as populated as it is today. There were probably still people in the area and was probably a little bit marshy.”

Some of the bones have already been removed from the property, Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. The homeowners are reportedly working with Bonde to see if the skeleton can be fully extracted.
