Installing on old pool site - dig out sand?

Hey guys!

I'm installing my new 21ft pool on top of a site where a 24ft pool used to be.

Getting ready to level things out and I have a question. How worried do I need to be about putting the pool on top of sand that was already there?

Do I need to dig down to the dirt where I'm going to be placing the plates/rails for my pool to ensure it won't settle?

Personally I'm thinking that since the sand has been there for years it's compacted enough for me to not have to worry about it but I'm far from a pro, hence reaching out to you guys for advice - any input would be greatly appreciated!
