    Need input on coping for a new pool

    I have a disease that causes my muscles to be in pain, and light swimming and movement in water is the only thing that gives enough relief. So I really need a good pool. I’ve done lots of reading here, and greatly appreciate the site and everyone on it. This is my first post. By Monday afternoon...
