I couldn't have found a better person to talk to about such an issue. You are right based on what I know most people do not actually use the pool. Its a shame what fitness clubs, health centers, gyms have become. I can't say I'm too proud. If your advice is to do it the right way well than thats the way I'm going to do it.

So what do you do now for employment?

I'll create some scenarios where I do not include a pool in my business plan. Although the places I would like to compete against I would have a advantage over them if I offered more services and amenities. This is going to be an interesting 3 years. If you could summarize why its so difficult to build a pool, I'm still having issues grasping the concept. To me it doesn't make sense why an item thats designed to hold water, keep it at a certain temp, filter it, and so forth has to cost so much? Must have something to do with the support structures that hold the water together? and all the reacquiring costs of maintenance? as well as the cost of materials to build the pool? but why is it so much?

Why can't we just get a hallowed out metallic tank, add some filters, add some temp controllers and some support beams and fill that with water? I know I probably struck a nerve with that but why can't there be an reasonable solution.

Also I would like to be a little more serious with this forum if you could bump me up. Trying to edit the profile to give you guys what you want.
