Built in 1980, my pool is the infamous, abominable Hybrid Pool (concrete bottom with fiberglass panel sides). I say that, but this pool his actually held up exceptionally well to be 42 years old, with only having very few minor problems over its lifetime. The dreaded characteristic of the Hybrid Pool is the surface repair/remodel when age betrays it and also the primary reason I have joined TFP. Here are some details and specs of my pool:
