What's your ultimate pool?

[eqbob]

Mine is 50 yards long, 6 feet wide, 6 feet deep for nothing but laps. Add in some marble (looking) columns for long flowing plants and vines. If I had the space (and the money I'd build it

I'd settle for 25 yards tho'

Bob, I'm sorry, but I have something very different in mind for a dream pool :-(

6 Feet wide!!!??? What kinda party can you have in there?

Mine would be out on my large, secluded ranch. It would be indoor/outdoor, pretty big sized, with a large 20' deep end (for scuba divers) with a rock cliff over-hang. It would have a swim up bar, attached lazy river, and a grotto with a bar and accommodations that would house two couples overnight in luxurious comfort. Waterfalls and natural scenery galore. It would employ a full time pool man, bartenders, and cocktail waitresses as needed.

Everyone on TFP is invited for the big summer bash every July.

That's ok, that's why everyone can have opinions <G>

I view pools in terms of my ability to exercise and swim. I love to swim. Floating doesn't do much for me <G>

Sounds nice. And to be fair, if I had the money to build my dream pool, I'd build another one for the wife, who much prefers to just float and wade around and isn't nearly so much into the swimming aspect <G>

Sorry- I normally hang out in the Under Construction thread where his pool is quite well known.

Ah yes...I have followed and tried to put my jaw back in it's socket from looking at those photos as well. Truly an amazing pool.

I still just want to swim laps, but I guess I could get used to that pool if it was forced on me

Thanks friends!! Your too kind. I was out swimming in the pool this morning with some oldies on the sound system.

 

[Marlahoutex]

Love the oldies! Kinda describes me!!

Yea, me too. Every time I see the "senior" member on many of our descriptors, I cringe. I don't need the reminder, thank you....

I already have one.... mine .

Since switching to TFP methods, it's been cruising along with no water-balance issues at all, no algae, no D.E. Filter issues (I can go a min of 3-4 months between Backwashes since switching to Bleach, FC/CYA Chart, etc).

My longtime Pool Repair/Maint guy stopped by the other day for an unrelated issue and looked at the pool and said "it's looking great."

When I bought my house the pool was already there. If I were to have installed my own pool, I'd probably have chosen a rectangular pool vs my kidney-shaped pool.
