Swimming pool form system including tension members and related methods

A form system for a swimming pool comprising:

• a plurality of outer form panels to be coupled in side-by-side relation corresponding to a desired swimming pool shape, each of said plurality of outer form panels comprising
• an outer wall panel having opposing first and second ends to be coupled to respective first and second opposing ends of adjacent outer wall panels,
• a plurality of magnet receiving passageways adjacent one of the first and second ends of the outer wall panel, and
• a plurality of magnets carried with respective ones of the plurality of magnet receiving passageways;
• a plurality of inner form panels to be coupled in side-by-side relation;
• a plurality of support members to couple said plurality of outer form panels in spaced relation from said plurality of inner form panels to define a wall space therebetween;
• and
• a plurality of tension members each comprising a base and an arm extending from the base to define an L-shape, each base to be magnetically coupled to respective magnets between adjacent ones of said plurality of outer form panels so that each each base extends from between respective adjacent ones of said plurality of outer form panels across the wall space and between respective adjacent ones of said plurality of inner form panels, and so that each arm engages one of the respective adjacent ones of said plurality of inner form panels.
