One of the questions I've had about these pools was whether they'd actually be used, after being built. I've seen an awful lot of pool equipment turned off or abandoned after owners or users found it too expensive, too complicated or too unreliable to use. Those experiences have made me wonder about these pools. I can find accounts of people BUILDING these pools, but no accounts or photos of people USING them after they were built.

Most of the natural pool + people photos seem to be pro-shots, posted with models, like these:






I could accept that both shots above reflect actual use. But not so much with this next one, which I find funny, though I doubt the photographer intended that effect:



Every time I look that that photo, in my mind I hear the model asking, "Can I get out of here, now? Please!". I also know what happens to white or light swimsuits when they brush up against algae covered surfaces. You can be sure that a wardrobe change was needed before additional shots were taken!
