Once upon a time, the only way to get a unique swimming pool was to have it made of concrete (gunite) and spend a boat load of money.  Free Form pools were exclusive to the rich and people living in Hollywood.   With the time (2 months) cost of a concrete pool, many people are moving towards building vinyl liner free form pools.

Vinyl liner pools are more economical and the technology has improved to the point that building a free form pool is no longer a problem.  Free Form pools take more time to build, but not much more than a standard pool.  Penguin Pools of Milwaukee & Minneapolis can build a “standard” vinyl liner inground pool in roughly 3 days.  In three days we will excavate the hole, build your pool, plumb it, set fixtures, and fill it with water.  The construction of a free form pool takes roughly 5 days as the excavation has to be very precise and takes twice as long.
