Who's Up For A Swim?

The cinder block's greatest property is its ability to be used with other materials to create functional objects. For example, the swimming pool down below isn't made solely out of cinder blocks, but they might be the most significant part of the swimming pool's design. This person took cinder blocks and created their outline with mortar before pouring concrete and waterproofing the inside of the pool. It still needs to be filled up, but we want to go swimming already!

This is one of the most complicated projects featured in this thread, so don't expect a one or two-day timeline if you're going to try this.
