What do you need to know to design a pool?

We will talk about specifying a location for the pool equipment and how to hide it from view. We will cover some basic regulations you’ll need to know (no matter where you are in the country). And finally, we’ll spend plenty of time on the fun stuff: how to specify the materials in and around the pool. No experience with pool design is necessary to take this class.
