ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method is disclosed for an improved swimming pool comprising a base forming the bottom of the pool. A sidewall extends about a peripheral edge of the base. The sidewall has an inner surface facing an interior of the pool, and an outer surface facing an exterior of the pool. An inner coating is disposed on the inner surface of the sidewall and on the base for affixing the sidewall to the base and for forming an interior surface for the pool. The sidewall comprises a plurality of flexible panels, which define a plurality of vertical joints. A plurality of upright supports are affixed to the outer surface of the sidewall at the vertical joints. A plurality of contour panels are affixed to the outer surface of the sidewall proximate the vertical joints and define a plurality of cavities therebetween. The cavities contain the upright supports. A plurality of vertical support columns are molded within the cavities for supporting the sidewall and integrally joining the flexible panels.
