Four reasons Pool Dealers have found our
pool systems to be the best on the market . . .
1. Cost Savings
Cost savings are two-fold.
The first cost savings is eliminating
expensive pool kits that are left behind
time after time. In addition, when
utilizing the Swim-crete pool system
for all-concrete pool construction, it
eliminates much of the labor intensive
construction process.
Secondly, unskilled labor is easily trained

to utilize the system, whether constructing

I am so fortunate to have responded to the

email last year from Swim-crete. They were
extremely helpful from the very beginning as
were their existing customers that I spoke
with and visited. They walked me through
everything and helped me install two pools. I
also worked with the marketing department.
They made a nice two page brochure that I
am using as a newspaper insert. The cost was
very reasonable. From my first contact, to now,
I feel that Swim-crete has gone out of their way
to make sure that my business is better than it
was before. I look more professional and I
build a better pool. Please, if you live out of my
market area contact me, I will be glad to help!"
In addition, a simple Tie, Pin, and Wedge system is used to set the forms.

3. Longevity/Minimal Maintenance
Daily, Swim-crete forming systems are used around the world. With minimal
maintenance, pool dealers have found that they get 2,000 or more uses with our
Higher Profits forming system. This is achieved by using lightweight high grade aluminum, in
with greater addition to advanced robotics, fiber optics, and the latest in computer technology
versatility! in the manufacturing process.
4. Higher Profits
Our pool dealers have found they
achieve greater margins because of
the many inherent advantages of
concrete. These include quality,
strength, durability and flexibility.
Pool dealers have realized additional
profits generated by using the
Swim-crete step system as an

Skimmers
Method 1 - Pour in place
Dedicate an interior concrete form, screw holes in face sheet for skimmer, and use a pilaster form on
exterior wall. Add short section of pipe with coupling to skimmer. Coupling should be taped and fit
securely against pilaster form.
Method 2 - Block out

Simply block out an area to desired dimension using wood or a prefabricated concrete form block out.
After forms are removed, place skimmer in wall and finish installation using mortar.
FORMING BASICS
8 www.swimcrete.com
Return Fittings
Method 1 - Pour in place
Simply screw a standard inlet head directly to interior panel.
Method 2 - Block out

Simply block out with a 4" piece of PVC pipe. Once forms are removed fill PVC pipe with
mortar and push inlet head with plumbing extension of at least 11" through pipe (be sure both
ends of inlet fixture are taped). Then trowel to a smooth finish as seen below.
www.swimcrete.com 9
Light Installation
Using screws attach the light fixture to the face sheet of the interior
form. Cut a piece of PVC pipe to fit securely between the light fixture
and exterior form. Tape all plumbing and light conduits to eliminate
concrete leakage.
Cascading/Shear Wall Fountains

In much the same fashion as other swimming
pool white goods and lighting, cascading/shear wall
fountains can be installed utilizing the block out
method or the pour in place method.
FORMING BASICS
10 www.swimcrete.com
• Lay pool shape out
• Excavate pool & hopper
• Chalk lines for interior
pool panels
Excavation
Commonly an inside 6" lip is part of
the over dig. The purpose of this lip
is to allow working room for setting
of forms. Once forms are set and
concrete placed, cut this lip away
when shaping the hopper. Also, the
working shelf should be as level as
possible for the setting of the
concrete forms.
The excavated depth of the hopper should be 9"

to 12" deeper than the specified finished depth to
compensate for the material used for surfacing the
bottom and hole shaping.
www.swimcrete.com 11
Setting Forms
Once the shelf is prepared, lay out forms,
both inside and outside. Utilizing the
Swim-crete pool prints, start with the step
forms. Step forms should be set and level
prior to setting any wall forms. When step
forming is complete, begin setting wall. Walls
can be set from both sides of the step
system to enable closing of forms at opposite
end of pool.
VINYL LINER POOL CONSTRUCTION
Steps - Concrete
Steps should always be set first when utilizing the Swim-crete concrete step system. Refer to step prints for form
placement of the particular step design you are utilizing.
Steps - Fiberglass
Fiberglass steps may also be used with the
Swim-crete system. If using a fiberglass step kit, use
two C.C.A. treated 2x10's with lag bolts or use
Swim-crete special ties to secure step system to
lumber, ensuring bolts protrude into space that will be
poured in concrete. This will allow for anchoring
into concrete wall.
Other fiberglass items, such as swimouts/

benches are installed in a similar manner.
Squaring & Leveling

Using the dimensions from the Swim-crete prints,
square the pool.
Then level using the Swim-crete Leveling System and a

laser, transit or water level.
For radius pools see HUB prints.
Placing Concrete
After the form system is level and square, check all inlet
fittings, skimmers, light housing and tie placement to
ensure they are secured properly. Then concrete is ready to
be placed. Recommended concrete is a minimum of 3,000
psi, 3" slump mix for steps. Once concrete steps are poured,
increase concrete slump to desired flowability for wall area.
For concrete yardage refer to Swim-crete pool prints.
Form Removal
Once concrete has achieved minimum required strength
(typically the morning after concrete placement), the
forms can be removed. When utilizing radius forms, form
removal begins at an outside radius or straight wall form.
Note: Remove all screws from forms where white goods

are located prior to stripping forms.
The exposed tie ends are easily

broken off using a standard
hammer or the Swim-crete Tie
Breaker Bar.
Wall Foam
While Swim-crete aluminum forming system
pours a smooth wall with minimal seams, it is
recommended to foam the walls to protect the
vinyl liner from unnecessary wear. When the
Swim-crete step system is incorporated into the
pool it is also recommended to apply foam, if it
is to be vinyl lined. Using spray adhesive, spray
the walls and then attach the foam. Shape and
smooth bottom of pool, eliminating any ledge
that may be left where pool wall and floor meet.
Track/Vinyl Liner Installation
Swim-crete recommends using Aluma-Trac liner track
(aluminum track). This can be installed by drilling into the
top of the wall using a standard hammer drill and attaching
with stainless steel concrete screws, or by simply nailing the
track on the day after the finished pour with concrete nails. If
using a plastic track retainer, it can be poured in place and the
track attached to it.
Install vinyl liner per manufacturer's directions.
Excavation
Excavate the pool area to the desired shape,
making sure to leave a level lip for the setting
of exterior forms.
Exterior Forming
The setting of the all-concrete
pool starts with the exterior
concrete forms. All the exterior
forms are set starting at the step
(when applicable).
ALL-CONCRETE POOL CONSTRUCTION
Exterior Forming (continued)
Steel Placement
After the exterior concrete forms are set and leveled, steel
should be placed in a grid following local codes.
Interior Forming
Once exterior forms, steel reinforcement, and
plumbing are in place, the interior forms are set.
Interior forms are suspended using the Swim-crete
parapet bracket.
Parapet Bracket
Note: Minimal or no interior bracing

required to suspend interior concrete
forms.
Squaring & Leveling

Using the dimensions from the Swim-crete prints, square the pool.
Then level using the Swim-crete Leveling System and a laser,
transit or water level.
Concrete Placement
Once all forms, steel reinforcement, and plumbing are in place, the
Swim-crete system is ready for concrete placement.
3" (8 cm) slump recommended for

all-concrete monolithic pool pours.
Concrete Placement - Hopper Method
Concrete is placed into the concrete forms at a 3" slump

starting in the deep end walls. Once deep end walls are
filled with concrete, the walls are vibrated; this allows
concrete to flow under interior forms. Next placement
continues in the deep end of the pool, stacking concrete
until both wall and floor come together achieving
monolithic pour.
PRODUCTS POOL CONSTRUCTION
ALL-CONCRETE
Concrete Placement - Shear Wall Method
Concrete placement using the shear

wall method achieves the monolithic
concrete shell with a full depth vertical
wall in the deep end.
Finishing Concrete
Finishing of concrete floors begins while the

placement of walls continues.
Once concrete is cured to minimal strength,

remove the forms, break the tie ends. This
leaves the pool ready to be plastered, tiled, epoxy
painted or finished using other methods.
Swim-crete recommends that
when using or installing our
products that all national and
local swimming pool and spa
codes along with OSHA
guidelines and regulations be
followed, and that our products
be used exclusively for their
specifically intended purposes
and uses.
