Swimming pool with composite wall

A swimming pool comprising:

• a plurality of interconnected panels forming an enclosed perimeter of a swimming pool, each panel including an inner wall surface and outer wall surface and a core disposed there between, at least one of the inner wall surface and the outer wall surface including a plurality of layers of reinforced composite material fused together to form a unitary composite wall, each layer including a thermoplastic resin and elongate glass fiber strands of reinforcing material, one of the plurality of layers having the strands therein unidirectionally oriented and running in a first direction, and a second of the plurality of layers having strands therein unidirectionally oriented running in a second direction, wherein the first direction is offset in angle from the second direction, and wherein the first and second set of layers are separately formed and are fused together to form a composite wall surface, and the inner and outer wall surfaces being secured to opposed sides of the core.

A swimming pool wall comprising:

• a plurality of layers of reinforced composite material, each layer including thermoplastic resin and a plurality of elongate glass strands of reinforcing material, a first layer having each of the strands therein unidirectionally oriented and running in a first direction throughout the first layer, a second layer adjoining the first layer and having each of the strands therein unidirectionally oriented and running in the first direction throughout the second layer, a third layer adjoining the first layer and having each of the strands therein unidirectionally oriented and running in a second direction throughout the third layer, and a fourth layer adjoining the second layer and having each of the strands therein unidirectionally oriented and running in the second direction throughout the fourth layer, and the first, second, third and fourth layers are fused together to form a composite wall.
