16x28 doughboy pool walls bowing

[JimMarshall]

Is it normal for the walls to bow out between the supports? Posting for a friend who is planning a liner replacement soon and hoping his pool is OK structurally

All oval pools bow between the post on the straight sides.

Looks just like ours, especially the bowing. Did your friend do a 7' deep end?
