Diving boards and slides require minimum depths and distances and must only be installed and used in strict compliance with the equipment manufacturers specifications and ANSI/NSPI or ANSI/APSP standards. If the pool is labeled by us as NON-DIVING, then diving equipment may not be installed and any such equipment must be removed before the pool is used. Smart pool owners always think safety first. They take specific steps to ensure that their family, friends and guests are knowledgeable about the safe and sensible use of their pool. They also: ensure that their pool is never used unless there is adequate supervision; ensure that their pool is kept in good repair and is not used when there is a missing or broken drain cover or other component; ensure that ALL CHILDREN using their pool are supervised constantly; ensure that anyone under the influence of alcohol, drugs or stimulants that would impair their abilities or judgement does not use the pool; ensure that their pool is protected by appropriate barriers to unsupervised entry including fencing with self latching gates, covers, alarms, etc. To assist you, a number of very important items of safety literature are included with each pool. We must insist that you read each item carefully and follow its instructions. These are: Pool Owners Safety Handbook Notice Card APSP Sensible Way Book Vinyl Swimming Pool LinerWarranty Children Arent Waterproof Book No Diving Labels Plaque Make sure your builder supplies you with all of the safety information that accompanies your pool and installs the enclosed warning stickers and area sign where they can be clearly visible to all who use the pool.

Things to Consider When Planning Your Pool
financing and stretch your payments out over a longer term often a monthly pool payment can be lower than a monthly car payment! Talk with your builder about what financing options are available. Also, maybe you dont have the funds to do a huge water feature or lighting system right now. But if you think you might want it in the future, tell your builder. Its much easier to plan for future plumbing and electrical needs upfront and work them into the design than to try and go backwards later on.

Think about how your pool will be used. If youre looking for fitness and exercise and have limited space, maybe a Rectangle pool is just the ticket. If you want to use your pool as an entertainment centerpiece, maybe a Lazy-L or True-L shape will work best. Looking to invoke a more natural scene in your yard? Go for a Lagoon, Mountain Oasis, Riviera, or Gemini design. Take a look at the variety of standard shapes available from Fort Wayne Pools or dream up your own and then visit your local Strong Support dealer to turn your ideas into reality.
IMPORTANT! No Diving signage is a component of the swimming pool and must be installed on the coping around the perimeter of your pool, as illustrated. Caution signage also must be affixed to the steps.

A wall of strength
The wall panels and braces make up the primary components of the sterling pool wall system. The design of the wall panels, in addition to the steel material itself, also contributes to that durability. Our pool system is engineered so that all the components fit together perfectly.
Supporting the panels and your decking are the braces. Steel braces are attached directly to the wall panels for maximum support. These braces ensure that your pool retains its shape and optional deck supports prevent your deck from settling.
