I’m a little confused – why would anyone NOT want to spend enormous amounts on a pool?? I have mine designed in my head. Grotto behind a waterfall, beach entry, and recently mentally added a swim-up bar. I’ll work an extra year or two if necessary.
My kids (2 and 4) would live in the water if they could, but the fact that it would keep them entertained is just icing on the cake. I’d be in it every weekend.
