Types of Swimming Pools
There are three main types of swimming pools to choose from. Choosing the material of your swimming pool is going to fluctuate the initial cost of your swimming pool, the durability, how long is lasts, and maintenance upkeep.

Concrete/Shotcrete
This type of material is the most popular. Concrete swimming pools are costly at first, but they last a long time. They are extremely customizable. You are able to create any shape with this swimming pool. If you keep up with the maintenance it can also last a long time.
Fiberglass
