well its more complicated then it seems, the biggest problem is with the material you build it out of cracking, pool builders use special concrete that has finberglass in it to make it actually flexable! they dig the hole the lay down chicken wire and supports along with about a trillion forms to keep the concrete where they need it, then usually the concrete is sprayed in with a special machine, once that drys then they will ad either tile ,another layer of concrete or whats called shotcrete or they will spray in pebbles mixed with epoxy (pebbletec) all the drains lights wiring pump intakes ect are put in before the concrete is added so its all under the surface. building a pool is NOT something to do on your own, it will cost you more and will almost definatly LEAK costing you tons extra on your water bill and ruining the pool. you can custom oder a pool and have pros do it.

What Richard said and may I add concrete blocks aren’t water tight even if you pour the cells solid.Water proofing blocks is fairly expensive as well.
