I was just reading the '60s thread, where someone mentioned that pools are more expensive now. I'm curious what is driving the costs. Initial investment, or keeping the pool going? Materials, construction labor, insurance, lifeguards, pool chemicals/maintenance? (In other words, is there one specific thing where, if we could find a cost-effective alternative, it would encourage more pools to be built.)
Right now this is academic, but after I win that big lottery ticket, this information will come in handy. :D

Our HS investigate putting in a pool. It was found that they could afford the cost of putting in a pool, but the ongoing cost of maintaining a pool caused the project to be nixed. They went out and talked to other HS' with pools and found all of them ran in the red for maintain their pools.
