Can anyone suggest some tips to make the pools crack free?

[Rutherford]

Hey there,

I have a large, spacious pet-friendly pool in my backyard. It's been a few years since I installed this pool. Recently, I noticed some cracks in the concrete walls. Earlier the crack was small enough, but now it expanded and is even hazardous to swimmers. I have consulted a pool service.

First, they suggested to seal the crack. As the crack is large enough, they dropped that plan and opted for resurfacing of pool.
I'm totally confused! Does anyone have similar issues? Please share some tips. Is it better to install a new pool?

Thanks!
